• Brilliant, powerful, thumping opening. Immediately engaging and passionate
• Lovely use of humour, images in the presentation and examples
• Excellent theory - News values, moral panic and absolutely appropriate to topic
• This is excellent for media issue/debate - but no sign as yet of a primary text.. only get to media coverage of EU half way through
• The link between first half (violent/lazy etc) and the EU topic is not particularly strong. They are both interesting issues but are they related?
• Getting better - linking to an explanation that the media are not interested in representing young people accurately. But why?
• Passionate ending - just as it started. But the journey in between needs a bit more clarity (a bit like the Remain campaign?)
• Q+A - good opening question on youth engagement - brilliant, passionate and knowledgeable response. Clear authority on the issue + answers comprehensively
• Excellent second question on whether 16 year olds have enough knowledge/experience to vote. Again, a strong, passionate and critically autonomous response. Good references too - Scottish referendum

WWW: Good opening and ending, with passion and authority on the topic. Knowledgeable and experienced responses to questions.

EBI: The middle link between theories, representations and the political aspect such as the EU coverage was weak. This could be expanded a lot more.

The majority of my work from my presentation will be included into my actual critical investigation. There will be a greater focus on current stereotypes and representations of young people in the media today, this will also relate to the different theories such as news values, moral panic, Richard Dyer's power theory. I will also include the focus on the political aspect of my debate. However, I will then see if the representations and stereotypes currently present are also present in young politics. One of my greatest focus was the Votes at 16 campaign for the British Youth Council, and the EU referendum coverage, I would use these to see how the media covered the engagement of young people and then as a result how that affected the turn outs.
