- Broadcasting
- E-media
- Representation is the process by which the media presents the 'real' world' to an audience.
- Reflective view
- Taking the meaning of something and trying to create a replica (like our own reflection)
- Intentional view
- Opposite to reflective view. People present their view of the thing they're representing.
- Constructionist view
- Feel that a representation can never be just the truth of the version of the trust which someone wants.
- Mediation
- Selection
- not everything in the news or in the paper is included. A lot is left out as only interesting stories are selected (newsworthy)
- Organisation
- Elements are organised differently to real life e.g. visual media involves mise-en-scene and organisation of narrative.
- Focusing
- encouraging the audience to concentrate on one particular aspect of text meaning they ignore others.
- Selection
- When encountering media text, we don't just see reality but someone's version of it.
