Representation

Definition
Representation is concerned with the way that people, ideas and events are presented to us. What appears on screens, in print etc., does not appear by accident, but through a process of
decision making from within the media industries. A media text then, needs to be viewed in this light - as a series of representations, a vehicle for beliefs, values and attitudes, which can be reinforced ( or challenged) by the audience.
