Mediated power-objectivity and impartiality  'permissive network'
the press swiftly come to their own conclusions to generate story for ££

'distorted of democracy' constraining and delimiting audiences

over 50% of national UK news papers sold are controlled by Rupert Murdoch and Jonathan Hansworth

pressure journalists, cut and paste, hegemony
8 news papers published inferences saying an innocent man is a murderer creating huge implications and difficulty in his social and economic life
commercial gain

Stuart Hall:
role of media in circulating 'common sense' definitions of majority and minority groups of  'deviance' and 'normality'

Miedia process as over reporting some and under reporting others.
what is not told to us by the media?

51% violent crimes- however decreasing
24% muslim- reality 5%
teenage pregnancies- 20%
moral panic/ increase islamaphobia or dislike towards working class or youth


'not vanquished or conquering'
'always contestable'
-where does the power reside?
power..
-what forms it exists, who has it, organise the distribution of knowledge and resources

since 1979 no UK gov has been elected without the Murdochs support

MYTH OF A 'CLASSLESS SOCIETY'
-media should look like the people in its country
-not just limited to the elite and rich
express your experiences and let them know

decline in newspapers

2015 1.8 mil
citizen journalism, real time, twitter

-dont let us scrutinise the powerful, should be educating society about the current situations
-to make life easier fro the people in power, the elite
-generate jealousy with the people/working class rather than addressing the people creating or in charge
