Representation of events

Positive representation of events;

The Royal wedding.  This event was shown as exclusive, expensive and was made to seem important.  They only showed the positive side that happened at the event rather than the negatives because the Royal family needs to be seen at a certain standard.

Football, which is also aired on television live, they only ever show clips of supportive fans and the game.  Conveniently avoiding the negatives sides that the fans and even the players show.

Negative representation of events;

Raves are seen as negative because of the behaviour of those involved, and also the presumed activities that take place, and that the raves are cover up for transactions that are actually taking place. 

Carnival is another example of a negative representation of an event in the media, the media normally shows and reports most of the negative rather than the positives to carnival. They more show reports of stabbings, robbery, acid attacks etc rather than persons having a good time and enjoying themselves.  This is most likely done to fulfill an ulterior motive.
