How Channel 4 present the death of the Finsbury Park baby.

Hegemony- Leadership or dominance, especially by one state or social group over others with consent.

The four steps to representation-

Who is being represented?
How is the person or group being represented?
What message does the representation send to the audience?
What is the impact of the representation on the audience?

Polysemy- One story can be decoded by the audience to reach several different meanings.

Edition- Each day/ week/ month's edition.

The radio station Channel 4 represented the story of the baby being killed before and after two political articles, suggesting that the channel believe political matters are more important than the tragic murder of a baby and attempted murder of his twin sister. Channel 4 seem to brush over the story and never say much about it, also implying that they do not think that it is a big enough story to be given a lot of time on air. The story was ranked 5th in the list of articles talked about on the channel, being told after stories such as Donald Trump, the use of drugs in sport, a lack of health care staff and sexual harassment within the company Uber. The target audience for this radio station seems to be aimed at people in the middle and upper class because it spoke deeply about international politics. As well as this the presenter does not use emotive language to describe the death of the baby, very simply stating the fats of the case and not dramatising it.

The ways an audience can interpret perspectives-

Media language
Lexis
Dominant ideology
Intertextuality
Polysemic readings
Anchorage
Audience negotiation (Stuart Hall)

You must consider: • How meaning is created through intertextuality or referential codes • How audiences may respond to and interpret media language • The potential multiple meanings of these adverts [30] This poster, from Kiss Of The Vampire, depicts two vampires, one male and one female, attacking two people while bats fly behind them.

Zoella- Audience (Clay Shirky- End Of An Audience)

Zoella- Audience Zoella's target audience: Gender: Female Age: 7-13 Ethnicity: White, English Social-economic status: Middle class Zoella does not have a mass audience as she targets a niche audience, a specific group of people. Emotive content- the show appeals to its female audience through narratives that engage with subject matter emotionally. Zoella continuously tells us how she 'feels' about the problems she faces. Zoella foregrounds stereotypical female based activities in her presentation: fashion, make-up, relationships. Costume stereotypically feminine- feminine colour palette deployed in mise-en-scene use of pets and pet orientated references (stereotypical little dog). Presenter constructs a version of ideal beauty- highly stylised, lot of make-up, attention pain to outfits. Intimate confessional tone- creates a female character. A quiet/ passive presentation style that fits with the target audience's expectations and female pres
