TV news

They follow a criteria, which is shown on this sheet. An example of this is the fraud case with Pauline Hanson. Fraud cases happen every single day in the courts, but Pauline Hanson, a well-known person, is considered newsworthy. The newsworthiness of a story has an important role in constructing reality, since if it does not have news value, people will not want to watch it. .
             News uses camera angles to persuade viewers into believing the ideologies represented by the editors. News can use camera angles to portray someone's guilt or innocence in a story. One example of this is the case of Shane Warne's interesting sex life. The camera portrays Warne as a monster with nothing to say to the "trusting" media by presenting a series of mid shots with Warne's back to the camera. In contrast to this, the young woman in the trial is portrayed as innocent, but she didn't say anything to the media to verify this stance. Rather, the idea of the innocence is shown in the front-on mid shots of the woman, which reveal an open looking honest wide-aged face - in short an innocent victim. Such camera angles are a strong persuasive devices in structuring reality, and the TV news uses it to its potential.
             Individuals ('scroungers', 'terrorists') and events ('muggings' or 'child abuse') are labelled in stereotypical and emotive terms to reinforce ideologies of news editors. Such labelling favours one-sided ways of looking at people and events. The news of terrorists targeting Australia was labelled "the extremism of Islamic fundamentalists'. Language is constructed in a way to allow the opinions of the news editors and those whom they represent to be reinforced and taken on board by the viewer. Through the use of emotive and other forms of persuasive language, a particular view of sections of society is constructed in a way that is commonly accepted by others. Therefore, followers of the Islam continue to be seen as potential terrorists, gay man as effeminate and young male teenagers as hooligans out to cause trouble.
