Particularly used in arguments for censorship.
NEWS;

Use-full;

Can work with younger, vulnerable audiences (less educated).
Useful when looking at advertising articles.

Not Useful;
Long term exposure is much more applicable (Gerbner)
Only have an effect on very impressional people.

LFTVD;

Useful;
Moving image has greater impression than text.
LFTV has the option of binging.
D83 presents diffrent take on historical event which can make an impression on audience fast.
Characters make impressions on audience - aspirational.

Not useful;
LFTVD is not 'real' - drama, not truth.
News has 'loyalty' - TV Drama is not the same - you dilute the chance of it affecting you.
TV Drama is not trying to have an immediate effect. Entertain, not inform, They don't need moral panic.

Representation of characters

Representations

Write a paragraph on each of these areas

•Teenagers

Teenagers are represented as the main roles that are presented in this series. They make up the main characters of the series and are a very important role in the show. The teens are represented as naughty due to the fact they go against what the adults say for example Steve climbing through the window and the boys going out when told not to.

•Family life and relationships

The family life with most of the boys are represented like normal family’s with bickering and arguments shown at the dinner table scene. There is then wills family (Joyce and Johnathan) which differs from the rest because they are overprotective most likely because his dad isn’t around.

•Mothers

Mothers are shown as caring and loving throughout this episode mainly Joyce when she is worried about will. She is represented as crazy when giving her opinions to people. This is showing the 1980’s view on women, men are more superior, and women’s opinions are invalid.

•Absent fathers

Wills father is represented as a bad guy because he hasn’t been around to look after will and left it all to Joyce. This is shown in the scene where she tries to call him, and a woman picks up and then hangs up when realising its Joyce. The pressure of single parenting is shown when Joyce is panicking and scared for will and has no one to talk to but Johnathan.

•Police

The police are represented as not very useful in the start when they are not taking it very seriously but when they realise it is serious, they do a good job at helping. The get a search party together and search the woods, this is showing that Hopper is interested in the case and is willing to help the single parent Joyce.
