Theorists:
- Giroux (1997) -youth are an empty category within media, representation of youth constructed adults
- Acland (1995) - representations of youth reinforces hegemony, making it clear cut what will and wont be accepted by society, shows that deviant youth behaviour is not accepted by society
- Cohen (1972) - moral panic theory, moral panics created by repetition on a particular subject, often repeat reporting in the media also using emotive language
- Hebdidge (1979) - more concerned with the reality of youth subculture. His theory suggests that youth subcultures are a way of youth expressing opposition to society
- Gerbner (1986) - cultivation theory - people overestimate levels of crime due to what they see in the media, this can be applied to youth within media, overtime people may get a false sense that all youth are deviant and criminal through the way they are presented in television.
- Branston and Stafford - Stereotypes are based on cultural knowledge, therefore their must be some truth to the stereotype
- Dyer (1979) - How we treat people is due to how we see them and visa versa
- Dyer (1979) - Stereotypes are about power, those with power stereotype those with less power
- Giddens (1991) - we are free to create ourselves however constraints are put on us by what is represented in media, for example youth may start to believe that they will be treated as deviant and should therefore act in this way
- Gauntlett (2002) - People behave in certain ways after following what is shown by someone who may be a role model to that person, similarly someone may follow bad actions if this is something which simply catches their interest
Hegemony - Strategy of power is used by dominants to control people in society
Dominant ideology - is something which is widely accepted by society
Ideology - a message which is present through the media
Mediation - the process which a media text goes through interpreting it and re-presenting it to an audience
