Todays media lesson:

In todays media lesson we learnt about, 'morals panics and the media.'
These are some notes that I took that lesson:

Moral panic definition: Abstract concept used to make sense of 'irrational public hysteria.'
-Public and academic debates on moral panic works on the assumption that the media plays a significant role in the characteristics of a moral panic.
-Break down/lack of morals
-large public outcry
-gap in the media
-moral discussions
-complex processes that shape public perception of a perceived threat
-idea of a moral code

Attributional model: Eric Goode and Nachman Ben Tehedudah study- moral panics: the social construction of a deviance, 1994. Claims those working in the media, political institutions of the legal system impact on moral panics through 'claims making.'
5 elements of criteria distinguish attributes of moral panics:
-concern
-hostility
-consenses
-disproportionaits
--volatility

Processual model: Attends to the process of a moral panic.
7 defined stages:
-emergence
-media inventory
-moral entreprenaurs
-experts
-coping resolutions
-fading away
-legacy
