Representation in Media notes-2

Extension/Restriction of experience of reality
By giving audiences information, media texts extend experience of reality.
Watching documentaries about political events/historical events extends your experience on reality. Producers of the media have selected the information we receive, which means our experience is restricted.
We only see the edits they make, not the actuality of the situation.
