Representation of young people in the media.


London riots 2011, was a moment to when all young people were categorised as one. The main headlines to each news did not specify which young people but all. The picture on the right shows a young person to be held down by police, this automatically makes the young person be seen as a culprit and to those that read that newspaper would be a lot older generation stereotyping young people negatively. The headlines state 'poorer, younger, less educated' this has a negative impact on how the readers view young people.
