review: A news report just focusing on the negative side of the protest, with the violent representation of students. Narration over images of broken windows and angry shouting students. It presents the police in a sympathetic light, with reports on injury and images of the number of students compared to the police. Damage to Millbank building and evacuation of poeple is stated and shown; along this, comments like 'nastyness' creates confusion to whether or not the students are in the right to protest. We are told it's not just students protesting, there are lecturers and also representatives of trade unions. The clip leaves those against the rise in tution fees without hope because the message of the peaceful protesters is being undermined by the violence who are speculated to not be students. That in itself questions the students and how important education is to them?

review: shocking action by the police, charging horses into the crowd

review: This article outrages viewers and encourages them to defend the police as the acts of students are seen to be immoral; attacking Prince Charles and Camilla car. David Cameron (left) condemned the violence and said those involved would "face the full force of the law" his words don't seem so harsh because we witnessed the groups 'thug' behaviour.
review: A video of the student protest held in London on the 24th of November. Trying to capture a 'fair' impression of the student protest; people standing up for their rights, fighting the cuts, the vandalized police van, people dancing and cheering, protesting peacefully, holding speeches, and last, but definitely not least, the police using the 'kettling' tactic to control the crowd.

The Student Protest
review: The police look weak or subordinate to the protesters. Representation of the students are stereotyped with images of the hooded up males.

Day 9
I've bookmarked several pages to investigate the difference in result available for The Olympics, compared to The Paralympics. There's also research on both ignoration and celebration of disability in the media. I looked at forums to get an insight to how people with disability feel about their representation and most seem to be complaining; arguing they are the same.
