Media Spiral linked to Angela Barry's Stereotypes (Racism link)

• Black people are seen in the media as 'troublemakers', 'entertainers' and 'dependents'.

• Blacks being shown as troublemakers by the media can urge many more black people to become troublemakers to fit their stereotype.

• Media can then cause a hype about the amount of troublemakers there are which causes a moral panic.

• People become scared of the situation and therefor attempt to be like troublemakers too.

• More people are living up to the stereotype of blacks in the media because they are scared of the exaggeration of the situation, therefor the cycle continues as more people panic as the media panics.
