This exercise is designed to make us think more about ‘who’ the media represents on a regular basis.

Whenever a person is featured, or even referenced, in a media text, that person is being represented.

It is common for media producers to use when representing individuals, i.e. they reduce them to a simplistic character type.

It is often the case that, by constructing a representation of an individual, a media text also represents whatever that individual belongs to.

Listed below are the key groups you are most likely to consider when talking about media representation:

– male, female, non-binary
– over 60s, 6–10, 18–25
– A, B, C1, C2, D, E
– gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer
– Caucasian, Black African, Chinese
– Muslim, Christian, Hindu

When it comes to the analysis of representation in the media, it is also useful to be aware of social and historical as this tells us more about the circumstances that affected the way people thought about issues of representation in a particular time or place. For example, the representation of women in a text will often depend on the time when it was made. In the last 100 years, there have been four movements of , i.e. the active championing of women’s social and political rights. Therefore, representations of strong, independent and successful women have become common over time.
