How Our Media Product Represents

Different Social Groups

By Max Trimming

Our Representation of the Youth

Since our radio station’s target audience is teenage girls, Rebel Radio features content that is relevant to them. The Youth are represented in a positive light with exciting stories surrounding them. This is so that our target audience can really engage with Rebel Radio and relate to it.

Our representation of Adults Adults are represented in a mixed fashion. Our first story portrays them in a negative light whereas the fifth story portrays them in a positive light. I suppose this is the case as we decided to include a mixed variety of stories to mirror a real radio news bulletin. This gives our listeners a real world impression of the real world.

Representation of the Elderly.

The elderly aren’t represented at all in Rebel Radio, this is because we felt that our target audience can’t relate to them. Also when we scripted for our bulletin there were no relevant news stories out there that featured the Elderly.

Gender

Rebel Radio is aimed at young teenage girls. This is evident by the content of the entertainment section. We chose this audience because we felt that they would be relatively easy to market ourselves towards. We would say that these girls would most likely be situated on the Isle of Wight as Rebel Radio is a local radio station.

Conclusion

Overall I would say that we have given a fair representation to all Social Groups. We haven’t been biased in any way or form. We just told the stories how they were. We here at Rebel Radio respect those from all Social Groups.
