Question...

How does the media mask/portray the entirety of gun crime in the UK?

- they cover up parts of the story so that you have a negative view on certain sections of society....predominantly young black men/youths
- the media uses hip hop as an excuse to mask the truth behind gun crime.....instead of tackling the root of the problem, the use hip hop as a medium to mask
- the media dont take into consideration the surroundings in which people are brought up in, the readily availibility of guns in London etc....instead they constantly exposer ideas in the media, from which they think are the main causes for the increasing numbers of crime rates

This website http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6938411.stm gives an insight into the way the media portrays hip hop as a main cause of encouraged youths to use guns.
