TV Drama Representation & Ideology

  • Ideology refers to belief systems
  • TV drama (as with any other media product) carries ideological messages (beliefs/opinions/values)
  • These will promote some messages and/or values which can influence beliefs of the audience
  • Ideological messages and values can either: 1)UPHOLD DOMINANT VALUES or 2)CHALLENGE/SUBVERT DOMINANT VALUES
  • Each channel has an identity or image which sells it as a brand
  • Channel Four has moved away from radical politics to be more of a teen oriented channel (Hollyoaks/Skins)
