Uses and Gratifications: russell howard's good news

Uses and Gratifications 

 

This is a tropical comedy show hosted by Russell Howard, he presents his unique view on the current stories dominating the news. The information presented in this program is relevant to the current society and surroundings as he talks about stories that have been in the news online and in the papers. The show is full of entertainment as he tell the audience about stories in the news whilst making jokes about them. 

How races/religions are represented within the media.

In this example of how different races or religions are represented in the media, Ray Dixon, a character from EastEnders was stopped by the police. Ray then has reason to believe the police officer is being racist. The audience are lead to believe the police officer suspects him of mugging because of his race. This may imply that he is more likely to be guilty of a mugging because of his race from what is being shown. However this is not an accurate reflection of race and religion and has only been stereotyped. Ray later then becomes a mentor for children facing similar circumstances.

The last film I watched at the cinema

The conjuring was the latest film I went to see at the cinema, a horror based on the true story of the Warrens. Not only do I like horrors but the film being based on a true story and from the director of Saw and Insidious made me want to watch it more. Would recommend this film.
