The stories that can be typically seen dealing with children is about a person doing something to a child, such as child predators or child abuse. Those stories are not the ones I will be focusing on. The other stories have the predator or the abuser has the main person and focus of the article, I however want to look at articles in which the child is the main focus of the article.
I have made this decision because I want to focus on how children themselves are portrayed in the media, not the people who are doing things towards children. For instance, I know that I will be analyzing a story about a child killing someone. I want to really analyze how the child is being portrayed.
By looking in-depth at articles that concern mostly the child, I will be able to make an accurate, and educated claim about how children are overall portrayed in all media platforms, whether print, online, or any other form.
The stories that I will discuss may not be stories that people want to hear about again and everyone may not like some of the things that I will be saying since it is a child, but my point is to try and show how exactly children are portrayed and that is going to take a lot of digging. A lot of digging that will make me read stories that I may not want to read but I will because this is a subject that truly interests me in so many ways.
Check back to see my first analysis of a child focused story!
