TV News: Representation and Bias

Sky News: London Riot 2011

1) The police's perspective
2) The police are the innocent people or hero's in this news story
3) They are represented as the villains
4) Hand held videos taking from a phone ( citizen journalism) and reports from the crime scene all ruined.
5) Sky news uses a negative describing words to define young teenagers and kind words for the police officers which had been injured during the riot.
6) The citizen journalism put is used the most and is repeated and shown a lot of times.
7) The narrative has been used to engage the audience via the way it was introduced and the clips they have to show and the way they describe the scene and the people there.
8) The equilibrium is when the city was perfectly fine. The disequilibrium is when the rioters are burning cars and buildings and the city is ruined.
9) The heroes in this news story is the police and the villains are the rioters and the news reporters frame the police as innocent and the rioters as horrific.
10) Citizen Journalism was used to display the burning building along side the police man showing that the rioters are bad.
