Class Notes
Media institution uses stereotypes because the audience will instantly understand them. Stereotypes are almost like 'visual shortcut'. They are repeated so often we assume the are normal or true.
Archetypes - This is the ultimate type of stereotypes. For example, an Essex girl could be described as a big busted, brainless and blonde.
Countertype - A representation that challenges traditional stereotypical associations of groups, people or places.
Representation- The way in which people, event and ideas are presented to the audience. Basically, the media re-presents something to the public and they can show that any way they want. These are made by producers (anyone who makes a media text), what they choose to show is up the gatekeeper
(has the responsibility to filter information before it is published).
