theorists (mediation)
Stuart Hall said that representation is the production of meaning through language (a spoken language or a visual language)
He suggested that reality is mediated through language
This means the truth is filtered through the perspective of the person making the media
They choose what to show us, so they can manipulate the 'facts' based on social/personal/political agendas
The media therefore do not present the pure truth - they present a 'mediated' version of the truth
Examples : Smoking, Sky sports, British politics, Boxing PPVs
