how news media create moral panic and represent teenagers in a negative way that the public should fear

I and my group discussed how news media create moral panic and represent teenagers in a negative way that the public should fear; we came up with several of different example of how the new media represent teenagers in a negative way. The examples we came up with were that the media represent teenagers as hood rats as they see groups of teenagers on the roads drinking and smoking which causes bad influence on Youngers. However we said this puts a bad impact on the good teenagers as well as they also get that negative representation. However there are also positive representations of teenagers that subvert that stereotype for example there are youth groups which help people etc. and Disney which shows the positive side of teenagers as Disney does not contain any smoking, drugs elements etc. I and my group also discussed why might the news media want to represent the teenagers negatively and we came up with different things for example. The news media always want a point of discussion and to something to talk about so that they get the audience attention and make money by raising false awareness most of the time. Raising awareness helps media make more money as the audience want to know more and more. We also discussed that there are binary oppositions between teenagers as you see some good and some bad but the as we see on the media we always see the bad side of them which is a very common stereotype.
