We had a dissertation away day last week where we were meant to finalise our ideas.
I was going to write on the differences between how midmarket and tabloid publications represent protestors but my focus was on attacking right wing newspaper publications so i wasn't allowed to do it. I then had 10 mins to rewrite the proposal to present it to my yeargroup (that was a joy). I got back that draft yesterday and i now need to write a new draft of that to send me to my dissertation tutor tomorrow.
My new topic is 'Do British newspaper publications represent protests differently based on their political ideologies?'. It lets me attack right wing publications but with an air of balance. Im going to study the occupy movements, comparing the UK and USA as a variable.

Clearly, they do.
The Guardian will tend to be quietly supportive of the occupy folk or most trade union action, especially when the Tories are in power.
The Daily Mail or the Telegraph will put the boot into the hippie scroungers who are just being obstructive due to being jealous of rich people.
I would just say to be careful of how you present it. I wrote my dissertation on the Bosman case and how it affected football. Because I cared about it I sometimes went into rant mode and got marked down as my tone was described as too journalistic. Your subject sounds like one it would be easy to go off on a rant on.

Yep but no one else has researched it, i hate the right wing publications and i love protests....any excuse to throw logic at them.
In one of my modules we were looking at the role of protests in democracy this week and I had to defend protests so many times to the tory idiots that couldn't get there head around what protests had ever done for them...even pointing out universal suffrage and the fact we have a democracy to start with went straight over their head.
They use the same logic as 'my party didnt win the election therefor i shouldn't vote in elections'

I haven't listened to The Eels in ages, great band! The indie movement in USA in the 90s was great, Weezer back in the day

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” Eliezer Wiesel
Protest is one of the oldest and most important means of political communication, with historical accounts recording protests since the beginning of the democratic system in the ancient civilisations. Protest allows for large groups to voice dissent directly to a government and they play an extremely important role in shaping societal views on the issues being protested. The history of protests demonstrates how important they are with the Plebeian protests of 494 BC in Rome, the Civil Rights movement after 1955 in the US, Egypt throughout the 20th and 21st centuries and Libya in 2011 all resulting in major political upheaval.
From my understanding of how protests are represented I believe that British right wing newspaper publications consistently represent domestic protests negatively whereas left wing publications are positive and liberal publications are objective. I believe this is an important issue to study as the right wing publications have the largest circulation in Britain and as a result of this their representations of protest will shape the public discourse on one of the most important methods of political communication. A shift in the popular discourse to viewing protests as a negative means of communication is detrimental to the democratic process but could also result in a move to more radical measures to promote an ideology into the public and political conscience.
How does that sound?
