Intro

Representing something is to invest it with meaning, and the cultural context provided by the mass media is crucial to our ability to make sense of the world. Representations in the media do not merely reflect the meanings already attached to events; rather, they create new meanings altogether. This entails varying levels of distortion and alteration of accuracy. In doing so, the media places an emphasis on positivism, which suggests that the original subject has a single fixed meaning against which accuracy can be measured.
