Representation
-The way in which people , events and ideas are presented to the audience.
-To break it down, the media takes something that is already there and re-presents it to use it in the way they choose
-These representations are created by the producers (anyone who makes a media text) of media texts
-What they choose to present to us is controlled by gatekeepers
Gatekeepers: These people have control & power of what is shown and not shown to a public audience
Moguls: Media moguls are people who own the company (i.e Newspaper) so have say on what goes in and doesn't
DISABILITY
REGIONAL IDENTITY
CLASS
AGE
GENDER
