Theories

Desensitisation
this theory suggests that the more violence or moral disrupt we see the less shocked we are by it but i feel that the article 'Care Home Closed' in my local newspaper can show that society may not be desensitised to the mistreatment of elderly people as the article expresses how a family is distraught by the news about the care home and this could evoke similar feelings within the audience this would prove that society may not be desensitised to everything such as the mistreatment of the elderly, young children and animals.

Feminist theory
My article about 'best GCSE grades in 10 years' can show that women within the education system are becoming more and more successful this can be seen where I have used a young girl talking about her very successful GCSE grades instead of a boy.

David Gauntlett - Web 2.0 Media
the web 2.0 media theory suggests that there is no boundary between the creator of a media product and the audience as they can now comment and portray their views on certain things on media sites like social networks or in my case my local newspaper website where i have given the audience the opportunity to comment on an article this can make the article more of a debate than a fact and information giving site.
