This assignment requires you to write an essay on representations of mental illness and people with mental illness found in the popular media. For this assignment you will need to describe how the media portrays mental illness and people with mental illness through language, images and news. You will also need to provide examples of the ways in which mental illnesses are characterised in the media. To do this you should analyse television and radio programs, movies, magazines, photographic images, newspaper items, or advertisements. You may find it helpful to identify media representations of a particular form or aspect of mental illness, such as depression, schizophrenia or attempted suicide, and search for sources around these. The important thing to remember is to focus on the media representations of these illnesses rather than the illnesses themselves. You will also need to provide academic evidence from peer-reviewed research throughout the essay to support the points you make and the examples you provide
