Windrush: Three People Wrongly Removed Flown Back To UK


3 passengers who were wrongly deported from the United Kingdom have been allowed back into the UK and the Home Office even paid their flights back which departed from Kingston, Jamaica and arrived at London, Gatwick. In total up to this day, 13 people who were deported from the UK have been given the right to return back.

This is an example of hard news as it talks upon the topic of immigration and especially focuses on the Wind rush generation which is a very recent situation.

Why would it appeal to the audience?

Personal Identity: People who are from the Caribbean or are even a part of the Wind Rush generation can relate to the people being reported on as they too are from the same place or may even have family members that have been affected by this.

Surveillance: Many people would like to keep track of what is going on with the deportation of the Windrush generation since it began and this article helps.

This is an example of quality journalism as it was not published for simple reasons such as profit and entertainment, instead it lets people know what is going on with people that have been deported.

1) What is regulation and why do media industries need to be regulated? Systems of regulation are required  to provide rules and regulations to ensure that organisations operate  fairly.

Which do you think are the three most important sections of the broadcasting code and why? I think section 1 is the most important because under 18's being exposed to too much could really affect the way they love life and the way they act seeing as they are still vulnerable. I also think that section 4 (rel...

Audience Theory 2

-
1) Social learning theory has been criticised for simplifying the causes of violence in society. Do you think the media is responsible for anti-social behaviour and violence? - I think that anti-social behavior and violence can be partially blamed on media but not fully because there is other things that can result in people becoming violent. For example the upbringing of a person or past experiences could have a large impact on the way they act however some people could be very passive or be intruiged by villains in movies. 2) How is social learning theory relevant in the digital age? Are young people now learning behaviour from social media and the internet? Give examples. - In my opinion the social learning theory is not as relevant now because audiences are not as easily influenced as before. For example in the 1930's when it was World War 2, Adolf Hitler had someone in charge of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. This was a way of Hitler making the people of Germany think ...
