London Riots- How are youths represented?

What images are used within this broadcast?

The images that are potrayed in this broadcast are very negative and can tar all youths with the same brush. The broadcast shows a youth being disrepectful to police offers, as if the youth does not have a care in the world.This then can cause a moral panic which is Stanley Cohen's idea,that the media creates these and therefore make the public worry and threat.

Is the broadcast biast?
The broadcast, is biast as it is shown on tv thefore giving "hooded youths" a bad representation of how youths can act, this therefore can create worry in society and therefore leave people being worried to walk past a youth. As this gives a very negative effect of how youths can act, in relaitly not all youths are like this and it really just in a miniority but as media, create a spin ( meaning stiring things up) which creates moral panics amongst the commuinty's


Are youths given a fair voice?
These youths are not really giving themselves a voice, they are being disrespectful and therefore they are making the moral panic become a realitly so people believe it more.
