How Media Demonises Teenagers
CLICK HERE to read an interesting article from The Independent concerning the media's portrayal of teenagers in the UK.
The use of the word 'demonise' is interesting in itself if we remember that Stan Cohen used the term 'folk devils' when reflecting on the portrayal of teenagers following the Clacton / Brighton fights in 1964. There seems a clear association between young people and language connoting evil.
