Mest 4 Pitch

Idea

The product will look at how different media outlets interpret different stories and how they are then able to manipulate their audiences through this. This includes the way in which they twist stories to benefit their agenda. Additionally, i will also look both Liberal and Conservative bias and the approaches they both take to push their ideologies across to indoctrinate their audiences.

Examples

Some other products i will look to for inspiration includes The Thick of it, Spitting Image and The New Statesman. These programmes parody British politics through juxtaposition and playing with the established codes and conventions. Comedy is an effective method of getting across a political message to a wider audience.

Liberal and Conservative bias

News media will always contain political bias which is influenced ownership and hegemony which hypodermically injects ideas and values into the audiences. This usually means that one side of the argument is usually left out. For example, the Guardian made a direct attempt to try to convince readers to vote Labour.

Migrant Crisis

Censorship- some institutions have focused on the negatives, some have edited footage to generate more sympathy.
