Power Representation

Our title, may I remind you, is the REPRESENTATION of POWER in the UK/US MEDIA…

…So far we have dealt with:

• POWER and how we might recognise it and analyse and evaluate its existence and use.
• the MEDIA

… but there remains that third word: REPRESENTATION….

• just what does it mean?
• why is it in the title?
• why is it important in relation to MEDIA and POWER?
• how can we recognise and interpret it?

Well, hopefully here are some answers … or at least thought-provoking questions!!!
