There are many examples of on screen representations used within the media platform of UK Contemporary news and Advertising. The main example i have chosen to focus on was the "Panorama" BBC show that was foccused on Knife Crime within the UK, and the view that only young black teenagers are commiting these crimes. After the show, people were able to share their views online, with whether or not they agree with this view. This therefore allowed people to enagge with the media as they were not jsut able to watch what was shown on TV, but also have their view put across aswell. Here is the website where this was done :

Off Screen ...
There are also many examples of off screen representations used within the UK Contemporary News and Advertising. Off screen foccusses on what is not shwon on tv or to a high popularity of the media. The main example i have chosen to focus on is the " Black Teenagers March".This link shows the People's March, supported by Crime Stoppers, The Mirror newspaper and London-wide radio station Choice FM. This march was done to show their support for the parents of gun and knife crime victims. However this event was hardly shown across the media platforms. Choice FM is a dedicated black radio station and shows support to the stop of gun and knife crime. This therefore can be linked to the idea that the Marxism view that the bourgeoisie are able to make the public have a reaction to what is shown to a higher advantage within the media. In this case more gun and knife crime attacks being reported live within UK contemporary global news, rather than more than a thousand black people marching in order of good justice.
