12% of crime is commited by teenagers
news of the world 'there to entertain' 'responding to an interest and demand'
they forget that youths are part of society
small minority who break the law, therefore the rest get punished aswell.
getting teenage stories are more looked at now. moral panic and cultivation theory, the amount of press coverage mean the most likely that the adutls will think it's real.
hyperdermic theory, injected by the media, believe everything. old people are passive consumers, agree with the media (Stuart Hall)
Mods got made to throw stones to get a story for journalists
The more CCTV the more footage to show bad behaviour
governments look like they are saving society for adults
the more youths are shown on media the more desensites the youth become (becoming violant)
we are called the generation asbo.
reports coming from police, obviously negative
more adults than youths, so adults have a bigger mouth
Reading the riot acts
british newspapers symbolise british youths with hoodies
representing youth:
ipsos mori survey 2005:
40% of articles focus on violence, crime, antisocial 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
only positve stories are about boys who died young
David Starkey: 'the whites have become black'
What role did new media technologies, particularly social networking sites play in the london riots?
Do media cause riots or revolutions?
'Broken Britain' rhetoric fuels fears about state schools - The Gaurdian
How can you link cultural Hegemony to this article?
-This article suggests Cultural Hegemony by almost rejecting the lower class people and improving schools for the middle class by making 'acadamy schools' only focusing on helping the middle class.
-There is this sense that the lower class are all at fault when it is only a small percentage of them. They class poverty and bad behaviour together as 'broken britain'
How does this article suggest moral panic?
-Parents are scared of putting their child in a state school among lower class children, reinforces moral panic in order to maintain cultural hegemony
Mcrobbie symbolic Theory?
linking crime and violence to the lower class defining a boundry between lower and middle class.
Clearly shown, as they say that
