ABSTRACT
Films, games, television, radio, apps, newspapers and magazines all mediate real events, issues, places and groups. To mediate means to come between, change or re-present. Although they may attempt to produce a factual account of the way the world is, the constraints of the different media and the selection of words and images mean that it is impossible to reproduce exactly the world ‘the way it is’. Activity
Does the media always attempt to reflect the world factually? What might be some other aims of the media which influence how they represent the world?
