BBC school report what is news

In 1973 Blumer and Katz came developed 'The uses and gratification theory' arguing audiences consume media text for one or more of the four reasons.
  • Information 
  • Entertainment
  • socialisation (replacing human relationships) 
  • surveillance 
News = Facts / information 

BUT

 because the 'news' you see on the tv, online in newspapers is also a 'product' that has to sell a target audience, it can also be entertaining and this may distract the facts.

What is fake news?
Fake news can be based on a true idea, or half truths but ultimately it is fake/untrue and has been released to influence opinion or annoy people.

Examples or fake news:

For this reason he’s been charged with mentoring the new rookie cop, Jake, who just happens to be the Chief Super’s son. But uncompromising Ryan doesn’t care who Jake’s Dad is, he has high expectations and expects Jake to meet them. A devoted single dad to his two children, Ryan has equally high standards at home but his controlling and over-bearing nature threatens to drive away those he loves most. But working in the same division as his Chief Super Dad, Jake soon realises that being the boss’ son isn’t a bed of roses – in fact it’s full of thorns – as his new Tutor Constable Ryan is quick to point out his every fault.

This image of this poster makes you want to watch the movie because this little girls eyes are a lot lighter than what they usually should be. This will make you feel consernd and worried about what has happened.  This film would be terrifying to watch because maybe it would have something to do with possession and she doesn't look very cheerful either.  They have used colours such as black, brown and white for this image because these colours make some people think of death so maybe there is some kind of murder or death in this film.  As you can see its not only the little girls eyes that are white, her face is also pale and her lips are like a brown / grey colour. There is no background in this photo as you can only see her face but i think this film would be really good to watch and it would be really horrifying.
