Representing Youth

IPSOS MORI Survey 2005:

  • 40% of articles on violence, crime, anti-social behaviour 
  • 71% are negative

Brunel Uni 2007:

  • TV News: violent crime or celebrities; young people are only 1% of sources


Women in Journalism 2008:

  • 72% of articles were negative, 3.4% positive
  • 75% about crime, drugs, police
  • Boys: yobs, thugs, sick, feral, hoodies, louts, scum (words used to describe)
  • Only positive stories are about boys who died young

Case Study 
  • What roll did new media technologies, particularly networking sites play in the london riots?
  • Do media cause riots or revolutions?#

Broken Britain

  • How can you link cultural hegemony to this article?
From the article it gives the impression that the middle class dominates the rest of society and makes society believe that lower class are associated with bad behaviour.
