Introduction

This is Sam Payne and George Adamson's Media Studies: Contemporary issues blog. The topic we will be focusing on is Media and collective identity. We think this topic is about how media represents different identities, and how it affects those identities. Below are the prompt questions to begin our thoughts on the topic.


1. How do the contemporary media represent nations, regions and ethnic/social/collective groups of people in different ways?


2. How does contemporary representation compare to previous time periods?


3. What are the social implications of different media representations of groups of people? 


4. To what extent is human identity increasingly mediated?
