Learning objective:
Explore the representation of events in the Media.
I will research texts dealing with events such as The Olympic opening ceremony and describe the different ways that events have been represented in the media.
For each of the case study texts you must do the following:
Task 1:
Research the two events (London riots and Euro 2012) and discuss how they were represented in the media.
Consider how the issues of racism and youth were dealt with through, mode of address (at the bottom of the post) and creation of moral panic.
Explain the positions of preferred, negotiated and oppositional readers.
Use different types of newspapers (broadsheets/tabloids) to illustrate and links to online articles about the events.
Create a Powerpoint Presentation called Representation of Events.
Below is one student's analysis of representation of the Olympics event.
If you are not sure about an answer in media studies.....consider the financial aspects!

Explore the representation of events in the Media.
I will research texts dealing with events such as The Olympic opening ceremony and describe the different ways that events have been represented in the media.
There is a possibility that you will be asked a question on the representation of events.
To answer, you must have detailed knowledge of how TWO events have been represented in TWO different ways by the media
For each of the case study texts you must do the following:
1. Identify exactly what representation has been constructed.
2. Identify HOW that representation has been constructed using textual examples
(behaviour, dialogue, sound, mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing).
Case Studies:
1: Euro 2012
Euro 2012 was represented by the media implying that the host countries (Ukraine and Poland) people were racist and warned black English fans not to provoke them. The media represented the neo-nazi threat as if anyone went the euro 2012, they would be discriminated against and they would be treated differently because of their nationality or their skin colour.
A newspaper said to their readers "Stay away or die" The newspaper got the thoughts of a comer football player who said "You could come home in a coffin" The newspaper are trying to tell people not to go because they would get killed otherwise.
The sky sports news report followed a group of neo-nazis who said they would discriminate against them because of what happened to them when they visited Scotland for a game against Celtic.
Some racism acts took place throughout the tournament including a banana being thrown a Mario Balotelli in a game against Spain. Spanish were fined 16,700 euros for this. The racism overshadowed the tournament. The racism were similar to the racism of the nazis.
The preferred readers for Stuart Hall's theory would consume this text because they are interested in football and want to watch their country at Euro 2012. The oppositional readers would consume this text because they think everybody from Poland and Ukraine are neo-nazis however they are agreeing with the stereotypes because they don't know anybody from Ukraine or Poland. The negotiated reader would think that with the racism would stop people from going to euro 2012 however they would watch the England team in Euro 2012.
