Media Representation

Channel four portrays the children of Britain as highly impressible and extremely naive when it comes to online predators and how it is evident that this view from the dominate ABC1 demographic of BBC.

Firstly, it is clear that young people are highly underrepresented as there are no adolescents presented within the clip. The children of millennium era are depicts as vulnerable and defenceless when its comes to online predators and other cyber issues. The narrative being pushed by channel four is backed by the Hypodermic needle theory which states young people are highly impressible by the information that they are feed online, However this is highly stereotypical and plays on the fears of the paedophilia because this highly unlikely as it is not representative of the experiences and intelligence that 250 million children living in Britain have.
