RepresentationUnit 1: Outcome 1

A representation is a constructed media text. Representations can take many forms, including radio segments, newspaper articles, photographs, films, television programs, TV news.

While some media texts- like television news and documentary films- may seem realistic, we have to remember that it is not the same as experiencing things ourselves.

It is important to realise that representations can be manipulated, depending on who is creating them. Representation
