Summarize this article;
The way that people are portrayed in the media depends on the popularity or interest of that particular story and if it will sell. for example a white British lawyer was murdered and that was all over the news, news people went to the house to get as much info as possible- compared to this Asian man that was killed, it was not mentioned a as big deal or not that much. newspapers argued this was because people don't buy into certain stories. they like female victim stories more than make victims. even children victims are more interesting. this is the same thing with colour stories. 'The way the media portrays people of colour is in a much, much more negative light than they do other people'

Answer the following exam question- (25 mins - 25 marks)
To what extent has the internet changed the relationship between producers and audiences and given way to the resistance of stereotypical representations?
the internet has changed the relationship between between producers and the audience by giving the audience a voice so they are now the producers as well. an example of this is social media where people can write their comments and voice there opinion, allowing a wide range of opinions and suggestions. Before there was a distinct distinction between the audience and the producer where typically the producers make the content and we just consumed it. This predates back to newspapers when the internet did not exists and there was no comment section or newspaper of our own. they were controlled by big businesses. now it is much easier to make content through recording and uploading a quick and easy YouTube video. This links to the cultivation theory(Gerbner) where people see others voicing their opinion and see an opportunity and are influenced to hence do the same. furthermore, this gives a resistance of stereotypical representation as by becoming the producer you can be quick to prove your opinion and point, compared to before (using the cultivation theory), we were just the consumers unable to resist and prove wrong the stereotypes represented through old media. Gilroy argues that black people tend to be unrepresented in society and so, an example of a resistance through the internet of stereotypes is the voice newspaper- the most read black British newspaper where they can put black stories that may otherwise be left out of mainstream news.
on the other hand, arguably while people can voice their opinion on the internet at the same time we are still the audience to big budget news outlets which inevitably drowns our voices. not only does that drown our voices but also there are so many opinions on the internet that most will just be ignored or forgotten and drowned out as many people are talking at once. For example, whilst the voice news website does raise issues about racism, it is still not enough resistance as the big budget ones such as teen vogue will still be heard louder and clear due to it's mass followings and popularity. Furthermore, recording and uploading to YouTube is yes quick and easy but it is still incomparable to the style and format of teen vogue which would be sure to captivate larger audiences. the internet is so saturated with content that there is too much competition. This follows on to cultivation theory where if the news is always given by racist industry's then we begin to belief and follow that ideology-almost as an indoctrination. race in media is nit seen in the eyes of the producers. tho the internet usage is increasing, newspapers are still popular in today's age
