Pluralist View - Media Representation of the Middle Class

• Pluralists argue that media representations of the middle classes accurately reflect the way the media consumers see their society
• Pluralists have researched into media portrayals of the middle class since the Missile crisis and found very little evidence of the representations changing
• Pluralists believe there has been little change of media representations of the middle class, as media professionals & TV Presenters are middle class, and so are likely to identify with the middle class guests rather than working class guests
• Most journalists & editors are privately educated which means that the news agenda is framed from a middle class viewpoint (this is why media representations of middle class hasn't change to Pluralists)
