- 70s migration- 1-70 'coloured face' - representation of asians, blacks, etc.
- 'Coloured people' suggests britiain not ready for different minorities- racist
- BBC producer- 'BBC is too white.'
- BBC- independent- play what public want to watch- not a lot of representation of asians- can tell media, not providing for everyone and everyones needs.
2.Compare the media portrayal of two social groups or two social places. (June '02 b)
- One social group- asians
- Second social group- women
- Asians- represented in a nuclear family/ tight knit family circle.
- Traditional, follow family footsteps, in touch with ethics, etc.
- Women- shown independent yet mostly promisious.
- Inferior to men, looked upon by looks and judged by looks not ability.
- Similar both social groups - women in asian representation also represented to be inferior to men, men breadwinners women housewives, etc.
3. Choose one group whom you believe to be inadequately represented in the media. Discuss some examples of how the group is represented. Why is the group represented in these ways? (specimen Question '00 b)
- Asians
- Examples of how asains represented- traditonal family orinated. Very strict. 'The ferriera's' in Eastenders- ran away from india, in for fraud. Not all asians like that. Programmes like 'My life tas a Poppet' childrens show- over eaxgerated asian families. Making them look like silly people. Wrong!
- Group represented like this- not enough asians in media- to represent asians- Greg Daike- BBC- BBC is too White'- need more asian people- so they can represnt asians instead of inappropriate asian representations.
- The masudes- son stole, got big plans never getting there- saying asians are good for dreaming not actually doing anything.
