In this lesson we were talking about 'representation' and how in media it isn't always completely true... we did an exercise on a typical BBC journalist who was the encoder to a lower class story in a different country. We took into account that he was 45years of age, had a family and he was upper middle class himself, so by having all these factors his encoding could be biased/pressured or even budgeted. Taking all of this things into accounts gives a clearer version of why representation isn't always correct.
