4.6B Media representation

• Different media can provide contrasting evidence, questioning the need for regeneration in your chosen place.
• • Using media (television dramas, blogs, films, news broadcasts, newspapers) can help develop a viewer’s sense of place
  • Media can provide contrasting evidence, including different stakeholders, and question whether the chosen areas require regeneration
• • However, media is subjective and may not accurately show the need for regeneration:
  • Some writers may portray a favourable image of a place to enhance a story
  • Other places may be depicted as worse than they are to add drama, which risks stigmatising an area and its locals
