Gerbner-Cultivation Theory in newspapers
The media in newspapers they provide you information and beliefs that they want you to believe and some times it can be the bent truth and shows the beliefs of the editor and the owners of the newspapers. Therefore over time you start to believe what you are being drip fed and changes the way the community sees things which can be for better or worse.
Representation of the Youth
In this image the "Youth of today" are being represented by this image of a person in a tracksuit all covered up looking suspicious as he is in front of a burning vehicle which suggest he is responsible for this mayhem. The typical stereotype of a youth being a very violent rebellious group of people in the world are being portrayed by this image as his body language looks stubborn and arrogant like even though he has been involved in a massive crime, which is what is suggested by the background, he does not have a care in the world and is almost looking straight at the people of Britain and saying "i don't care". The media is representing the person due to the below eye level camera angle showing he has some power over the position but may only be temporary as it is not a very low angle. also the virtually monochrome colour scheme shows a dull and miserable sad atmosphere but is broken up by the bright roaring flame that situates its self in the center of the front cover creating a powerful message of a cogent force in the modern world. Text is just a one word headline in "ANARCHY" which causes impact and dramatizes this story, this shows how the "Youth" have just gone straight against the government. the codes and convention fit the story very well as the institutional codes like the camera work is very fitting as it shows the temporary power and the text is short but has a massive impact just like the riot.
