Theoretical Evidence

As mentioned earlier, we wanted our piece to have a modern, contemporary feel to it which addressed issues within today’s society. We had to look into social groups and discover whether it was possible to give a set group of people a label based on collective characteristics or traits. Furthermore, we believed that our music video could be from what Dan Gillmor refers to as looking specifically at ‘citizen journalism’ and we, as ordinary people are participating in politics and news by producing our own accounts of real events and commenting ‘immediately (and loudly) on ‘official’ journalism’.
