media studies

1. Mest 4 Pitch

2. Idea
The product will look at how different media outlets
interpret different stories and how they are then able to
manipulate their audiences through this. This includes the
way in which they twist stories to benefit their agenda.
Additionally, i will also look both Liberal and Conservative
bias and the approaches they both take to push their
ideologies across to indoctrinate their audiences.

3. Examples
Some other products i will look to for inspiration includes
The Thick of it, Spitting Image and The New Statesman.
These programmes parody British politics through
juxtaposition and playing with the established codes and
conventions. Comedy is an effective method of getting
across a political message to a wider audience.

4. Liberal and Conservative bias
News media will always contain political bias which is influenced ownership
and hegemony which hypodermically injects ideas and values into the
audiences. This usually means that one side of the argument is usually left out.
For example, the Guardian made a direct attempt to try to convince readers to
vote Labour.

5. Migrant Crisis
A controversial topic in Europe
Censorship- some institutions have focused on the negatives, some have
edited footage to generate more sympathy.
People with opposing view made to look brutal or cruel.
Some have claimed that the argument is a religious debate linking back to the
Israel vs Palestine argument.
