Demonstrate understanding of the media representation of an aspect of New Zealand culture or society
NZQA suppresses grade rates for low-cohort standards.
You need to pick an aspect of how New Zealand culture or society is shown in the media (like how Māori are portrayed in news, or how farmers are represented, or rugby culture) and explain what messages and values that representation sends. Your job is to analyse *why* the media shows it that way and what effect those representations have on how New Zealanders think about that topic.
You explain clearly what the media representation is and how it communicates particular messages and values about an aspect of NZ culture or society.
You analyse how the media representation shapes and/or reflects ideas about that aspect of NZ society, showing awareness of the broader social, cultural, or other impacts.
You evaluate the representation by making a judgement about its impact — weighing up different perspectives on how it affects understanding of that aspect of NZ culture or society.
