Representation - Channel 4

Young People in this story are represented as victims, helpless and in need of guidance and support from older people. This is shown in this report by using key sentences like "enquired for sex within 4 minutes" "Every time we signed up for Bebbo 50 times and we were asked for sex every time." This means that Channel 4 are trying to represent young people with a need of guidance because they could be using these sites right now.

However in this news story they didn't have one interview or opinion from a young person or someone who is using the site itself. This links with Dyer's media theory on how the middle aged white males have all of the power when presenting this story because Jon Snow is reporting this story and the interview of the expert is also a middle aged white male and the young people don't have one opinion or segment in this story which is all about them.

And this story further added to the stereotypes of young people not being able to look after themselves when they are using the internet because they not mention in this story how young people might not be interested with pedophiles asking them for sex on Bebbo they just assume that every person that uses the Bebbo site is iver a pedophille or a inasent young person who is being manipulated by the pedophilles.
