After doing some research I have a small idea of what 'media representation' is.
I have learnt that media representation can be how the media represents things such as gender, age and common stereotypes. The media can do this through newspapers, magazines, television and film. For example the media may want to represent elderly people as fragile so will use a character in a soap opera to portray this e.g. Dot in Eastenders.
The media expect us to understand this type of representation and accept it this can also change or view on things through re-presentation this is when an original idea is presented differently.
