Stereotypes in the news

-

Daily Mail:

read the article here:
 The stereotype: teenagers are violent, and the man was 'defenseless'

In this article the teenage boy that is represented in this is the stereotype that all teenagers are 'violent' and that elderly people are 'defenseless' this is the typical stereotype of both teenagers and elderly people. In the news article there is footage of what happened. With the news story the journalist's make the teenage boy a lot more violent than what the real life thing was, and this could also be the same for the elderly man, as he is labelled as 'defenseless' he could've tried to fight back, but they would twist the story to make it look more violent and it makes the story more appealing to others.


The stereotype: generations now care more about posting things online rather than helping someone. 

In this article it is shown that a women was badly beaten up and instead of people helping her, seeing if she's alright, they got their phones out and started to take pictures/film the situation. This is a stereotype now as it's known that a high percentage of people with a phone are addicted to their phones and this video proves it. Instead of helping the poor women up or calling someone they're on social media talking about it/posting videos and pictures. 

The stereotype: men sexually assaulted a women. 

This story is stereotypical because in the news recently there has been a lot of stories about WOMEN being sexually assaulted by Men, but it's never the other way round.

Statement of intent

How do you intend to use the four areas of the media theoretical framework to communicate meaning and meet the requirements of your chosen brief? (approx. 400 words) The artist that I am creating is going to be a duo, their name is going to represent the type of music they’re going to produce and it’s going to stand out. The logo for the artist is going to look clean and modern, as this then represents the artist and also the type of music they listen too. The logo is going to have the same colours as the rest of the website so then they all match and makes it look simple yet modern. The duo is in their teens so they can relate to the younger audience, the music video is also going to have a young look to it, but also still make it mature for the younger people. My artists’ logo and name is going to represent the type of music they’re going to produce, so the logo is going to include bright colours to help it stand out from the rest of the other artists logos. In the music vide...

Teenagers spend 40 days a year looking at their mobile phones. In this article they use negative words about the teenagers, the most popular one is 'addictive' or 'addicted' and then that shortly follows with the word phone. probably the most positive word in the article is 'London came last with 37 days', this is the most positive word in the article as the rest is negative and saying how every teenager spends over 2 hours on their phone and that they're 'glued' to their phone. This article shows us what adults think about us and how much time we spend on our phones, these attitudes are not fair and they're not always true as no every teenager spends that much time on their phone and with this they are using one big stereotype that teenagers can't live without their phone and if they are without it then they have anxiety. I can tell that they've ranged this at all the teenagers instead of some of the teenagers. The pictu...
