Thoughts So Far... (The Internet In Media)

• Best information about the topic found in well known tabloids and not random internet websites such as participation works.

 

• Tabloids such as the BBC and The Independent are the best in terms of reliability of information.

 

• The Mail Online have a history of over exaggeration, therefore are not a typically reliable source.

• Participation works is very unknown therefore the information is not falsifiable.

• From the websites discussed, overall they offer different balanced opinions on the matter.

• From these websites alone, there is no information to suggest that the media influences antisocial behaviour primarily, as they all suggest different views, some present young people positively and some negatively. There is no difinitive way of knowing if antisocial behaviour is influenced by the media by the internet alone.

• Difficult to see whether negative representations of young people by the media do cause antisocial behavior, as only four websites is not a good representation of the entire Internets views.

• The internet alone in media consists of hundreds of thousands of websites, many discussing the same topic holding their own views. Due to this a conclusion to the question cannot be made as of yet.
