Is Logan fairly represented in the media, or does the media disadvantage people of the community through prejudice and reinforced stereotypes?

The Members of Logan are divided on the issue of representation in the public network. "Our position between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, combined with our connectivity and our diverse, professional

community

, provides us with a forum to success in our potential as a creative, vibrant future region" (CEO Silvio Trinca Region of Logan, 2018). The media disadvantaged people of the

community

through prejudice and reinforced stereotypes.

This

essay provides some cases and example, the media has revealed Logan on the basis of stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes toward Logan

City

, and it’s focusing only on certain people. The media disadvantage the depiction of Logan by representing Logan based on stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes towards Logan

City

. To clarify, Google reported that Logan

City

is the most terrible

area

in Brisbane, and that the "clashes" people are living in Woodridge (Logan

City

suburb), and the online urban dictionary categorized Logan people as a "bogan"(R. Wickes 2013). While Rebecca Wickes – a lecture in a Criminology / Science Fellows at the University of Queensland – stated

this

identifies are “at least in part, biased.”It suggests that Google and the online urban dictionary websites are media sources that they falsely portrayed people living in the Logan

community

by simply identifying people in the Logan people relied on stereotypes. In 2020, on Chronicle’s website, N. Brown launched an article in which Furphy and Rissole claimed and ranked Logan

City

as the worst place in Australia in 2019. The reasons given for their claim were that "the entire council was sacked for alleged corruption" and during a

bushfire

a "grub stolen 1,000 litres of water." People in Logan society as well have "common hobbies" of "shit-faced" and attacking people with wood strikes. They are committing ram raids in hot-wired Holden, Honda

civics

of or relating or belonging to a city

civic

, and

intergenerational

welfare dependency.” All the reasons given were evidently from "a pair wrote in a

city

review."

This

clearly shows that, formed on the views of others, Logan

City

was rendered by the Chronicle website to be one of the most awful

city

in Australia. Through the depiction of the

city

as the most unpleasant

area

established on stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes towards Logan

City

, many news outlets

thus

disadvantaged Logan’s representation.

In addition

proven to my claim that Logan's portrayal is disadvantaged by the media, it has only focused on certain people to represent Logan. In 2009,

NewsComAu

revealed Deakin University's damning survey and Australian Unity insurer found "Logan

City

delivered Queensland's lowest "personal wellness index" score and Australia's sixth lowest." The media

also

shared the perspective of Logan Mayor Pam Parker on Logan

City

, "What makes Logan different is not just its beautiful venue, it's the people and the

community

spirit that's

second

to none," and that Logan has got a whole lot better in recent years. The publisher,

however

, released the article entitled "Logan

City

's “unhappiest” urban

area

to live in Queensland,"

consequently

demonstrating that the

NewsComAu

depicted Logan in a derogatory way assumed from solely on Deakin University's survey and Australian Unity insurer. In 2014, Ahuri published report and stated, "Interview participants reported drug-related crime issues, including vehicle and property offences in the

area

. But most acknowledged low perceptions of

community

safety in the

area

.” Deakin University's survey shows, Logan

area

is not safe because it has lack of security. But because the study was conducted by "interview participants," the research focused on only certain people rather than a whole

community

. In 2018

NewsComAu

again published an article showing a picture of money on the floor in a letter "South Side 4114 *." The title was named “Brazen youth

ganges

an association of criminals

gangs

terrorising Brisbane" representing Logan

City

's perception. It indicates that

this

media has focused only on these people to demonstrate Logan

City

in a negative way. By concentrating on certain people, many media outlets have damaged Logan by portraying the

city

negatively. To sum up, the representatives of Logan

City

were disadvantaged as the media based on negative stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes toward the

city

, and focused only on certain individuals. In consequence, it is clear that the concept of 'Bogan,' 'Clash', a common 'shit-faced,' and the worst

city

to live in, depicted by Google, the online urban dictionary, the Chronicle, the

NewsComAu

, and the Ahur cannot be

support

Suggestion

supported

that Logan is the worst place to live in. It is clear that after a thorough analysis on

this

subject, the media has importance roles in the present and inform correct information.
