LR- re-write introduction

To a certain extent I agree with the statement “Constant media stories about going crime create a depressing and unbalanced picture of black youngsters.” In the past few years’ youngsters’ whereas relating to the question youth representation in general has been developing from positive to simple, negative and now complex as they have been reported miserably this is because society has socially constructed a meaning and labelled youths as negative and black youths as dangerous and criminals. However, a vital factor the media has represented black youths as negative. This is because the media decides to gives us certain news they do when and how much this refers to Gramsci's theory of hegemony which divide class and how much information is given my the journalist to the audience.

Rival national newspaper editors are expected to present a united front

Until the Leveson report came out, editors of several papers including the Daily Mail were arguing for continued self-regulation, if they could levy fines of £1m and introduce a more independent board. However, this plan still included a place on the board for serving editors.

The prime minister has expressed "serious concerns and misgivings" about Lord Justice Leveson's recommendation of legislative underpinning for a new press regulator.

in my opinion

the regulations on the media wont make a difference as now all have their own choices through web 2.0 by using social networking and that a platform where individuals  are able to get there  voice heard this refers to the hegemony as the capitalist have the upper power and dominate the media that individuals thoughts don't really count 

article mentions the move from web 1.0 to 2.0 has bought a much broader media revolution
Services such as YouTube, Blogs etc. are now free and available for anyone to use
as ordinary people have their says and opinions/views of what's happening and can publish them through web 2.0 and get reply backs, while sharing on-line sites which are free and open. these things can lead to turn in to fundamental shifts in operation's of old media such as the television.
First Question
what's new?
change of the media has allowed ordinary people to get involved and answer back the media whereas before web 1.0 news was provided through television and radios which was injected into the audience and audeince only had an acceptance. however it seen as there is danger of technological determinism the idea that technology will bring about social change
impact depends on how they are used and by who

who's participating
Digital divides, the younger people who are using social networking
striking social inequalities in participation some gender differences
women are leading to bloging
men tend to dominate videos by sharing

who is participating
technology is shifting power way from the editors, the publisher
establishments and the media who are taking control
(marx capitalist system)

Who's doing work
marketing


Participation debates - media
biggest debates
democracy is the form of government in which all eligible people have a say in making a decision
modern media landscape
Now the digital revolution web 2.0 has given users he opportunity to not just be the audience but to communicate ideas globally through social networking

nternet has empowered its users by giving them unparalleled instant and almost unmediated access to unfolding news stories from a variety of sources, bypassing the hegemonic institutions that control the dominant media discourses in society.

Indian village bars women from using mobiles phones

A village council in eastern India banned women using mobiles phone

they said that mobile phones pollute the social atmosphere by encouraging women to elope with lovers

there are penalties range from 10,000 rupees (£115) 

2,000 rupees for married women 

they can only use a phone in the presence of a male family member.

combination of marginally improved education will take place with no phones and no eloping

more mobility access has led to traditional authority of fathers, husbands and male village leaders 

I think this is wrong and the eastern indian's are being strict also this keeps to a male dominant society and is patriarchal for women as they are controlled by men

whereas, men can use phone and also have affairs which seems to be unfair and biased society.

What representation of young people in London do we see in the opening of Kidulthood

We see a negative and over-exaggerated representation of young people in London as we see different type of daily reality’s happening all crammed into one scene of the opening which is over exaggerated as not all of the situations which took place happen at the same time this therefore explains the fast pacing movement of camera and edits fitting all the young people into once scene.  

Is it a fair representation?

I don’t think that the opening scene is a fair representation as it portrays all young people as stereotyped to fit into their label of negative. As we see working class young people all fighting, swearing and arguing throughout the first 10 minutes of the scene. Whereas, it is a fair representation as we see all teenagers hanging around talking and gossiping before lessons.

Is it a good example of verisimilitude?

This is a good example of verisimilitude as what audience expect of young people that is what kidulthood has put together as young people are seen as violent and damaging creatures using slang over and over again which shows that as an audience we accept that this film is true to life as these are various things we see young people do and it contains true facts about young people in London

BBC George Entwistle's

George Entwistle's
Should not resign as a Director general as in his defence he had to send out news and give audience information of some sort, that the public was waiting for also he was only working for 54 days at the public broadcaster which covers his mistake as he was a new worker in the broadcast sector/
He should be given a chance or be removed as director manager post and drop down. As he was only doing his job and what a news reporter/ public broadcasters does. However, because of the wide spread of rumours and the case that he has put such a high brand BBC down there should be another director general at his post and he should be removed because of the mistake he’s made as a director general has huge politically responsibility. He can survive it but I think he's made it very difficult for himself. Also towards the end their will be a change of director general in order to not make the same mistake as now

Twitter and tweets should not be closed as important updates which are made cross over to young teenagers and adults who use twitter as well as a way of giving their opinion to what they think. However, the tweeters that tweeted information similar to George Entwistle’s should be at least are receiving a warning of or some type of punishment.

News night should not be shut down because it has been successful over the upcoming years which has informed and educated as well as entertained public with its up-coming news for one mistake it shouldn't be shut down, however, they should be receiving a tagged fine
