Fiske argues that television representations are constructed from dominant ideologies. Specifically, news representations portray those in power like police and government as heroes, while others with less social power are only shown when deviant or in conflict. Additionally, TV dramas like The Inbetweeners use recurring three-dimensional characters that viewers can relate to as they experience similar timescales of school and teenage life. Finally, representations depend on personal experience and allow for polysemic interpretations.

TV Drama is different from
film and news Characters are three dimensional(physical appearance, social values, characteristics) Characters are repeated so they live in a similar time scale to us. (e.g four characters from Inbetweeners go to school, live a normal teenage live) Fiske argues TV Drama has polysemic (more than one) reading. Representation depends on personal experience. Plot development can take weeks, months or years.
Fiske argues that the news
pretend to be real and authorative but it actually borrows from the conventions of non fiction when representing individuals The heroes in broadcast news are the police, priminister and the government, those without social power or lower social status are only seen in the news when they are deviant disruptive or involved in some kind of violent conflict We as an audience and consumer of media products
