Nazamin has a child this makes her sympathetic. She also has a white husband 

Narrativization- the process of making a story

News Values- the values or ideology that is demonstrated in news media 

The news is constructed through a process of selection and elimination.

Newsworthiness (worthy of being in the news, if it bleeds it leads)

As a younger woman Nazamin is more important to the audience

Nazamin is hegemonically attractive and with a white man this is an example of post-colonialism theory.

She said: “It has been a very big struggle trying to get my dad’s name out there; we were slightly more successful in the last year of our campaign because of the efforts of Amnesty and other organisations that finally joined us.

“But because of his name, age, his looks, us being grownup children, and us not being very relatable so we couldn’t really engage on a major scale with the media and public no matter how hard we tried.”

Anoosheh's story is more complex and horrific as he attempted suicide in prison 

Explain how ownership shapes media products. Refer to the Daily Mirror and The Times

Tabloid vs Broadsheets 

Mirror- Uses san-serif font appeals to working class audiences, 50p and more informal lexus

Times- More formal lexus, higher prices £2.20 and far fewer pictures

The Daily Mirror 

- more pictures

- lots of colour

Curran and Seaton- power and profit in media. they argue that UK newspapers wield power without responsibilities. Uk media are in the business of manipulating people into voting for certain political parties, this is advantageous to them as they gain a strong audience base. 

David Hesmondhalgh- minimise risk and maximise profit

- headline story on Mirror is 'MP Killer had Gove as target' as they are not directly saying it and are only quoting others- Extremely, exciting story which gets viewer attention. this is an example of self regulation
- images of two hegemonically attractive women referred to by their first name- example of informal mode of address. example of a soft news story. royal family appeals to the working class. arguments against the royal family are sexual abuse, old fashioned ideologies and racism.

Representations are shaped by the time that they were made To what extent does this apply to Les Revenants? Les Revenants presents complex and powerful representations of women in particular which reflects the time in which it was made. However, Les Revenants also completely excludes non white characters which is highly stereotypical and even racist. - Isolated - Solemn - Peaceful - Rural - Quiet - Spiritual - Long shot of nature  - MES of the coach connotes to tourism  - Wide shot of concrete dam - Strange modern building - Peaceful yet aggressive  - School is very concrete and threatening Contradictive- france is represented as a highly complicated and contradictory. It combines beautiful nature with ugly and unappealing newly built houses. In doing so, it reflects the complexities of everyday life. Not only this, but Les Revs will be highly relatable to white middle class and french target audiences., who may not live in Paris or other built up cities. How are multiple...

 Audience Theories: Albert Bandura- Media Effects - Media can implant ideas into the mind of the audience directly. - Audiences  acquire attitudes, emotional responses and behaviours through media products modelling ideologies. -  If a media product represents  behaviour such as violence or physical aggression, this can lead audience members to imitate those forms of behaviour. Stuart Hall- Reception Theory - To watch/read/play/listen to/consume a media product is a process involving encoding by producers and decoding by audiences. - There are millions of possible responses that can be affected through factors such as upbringing, cultural capital, ethnicity, age, social class, and so on - Hall narrowed this down to three ways in which messages and meanings may be decoded: - The preferred reading - the dominant-hegemonic position, where the audience understands and accepts the ideology of the producer - The negotiated reading - where the ideological implications of...

 The WaterAid advert uses subversive representation and challenges genre convention to appeal to a range. WaterAid advert uses a range of stereotypical representations to present a straightforward ideology to its target audience; a generalised stereotypical representation of Africa. Why does the Water Aid use stereotypes? They are a straightforward way of reinforcing the producers ideology and ensure the audience will donate their money Stereotypes; wealthy english household poor african village happy child black people singing  happy black people  sunset presents a positive but stereotypical  there is an inference that claudia has water due to water aid intervening africa is bright and idyllic - like paradise life is based around water england is represented through a stereotypical binary opposition as being cold, wet and dreary. this emphasises the binary opposition between england and africa. Othering- when a separation is made between two different groups of peop...
