The definition of Moral panic is:
A intense feeling expressed in a population about an issue that appears to threaten the social order
Cohen's Moral panic is when somebody in media is in the spotlight for something they have done, eg Chris brown and Riannah. This is celebrated on not matter how bad it may be which is a bad influence on a younger audience and in my opinion should not be allowed. Folk devil is what the press and public are against and take a frown to for example Gary Glitter. A certain genre is then attacked for influencing a younger audience as Marilyn Manson was accused for a school shooting. Rap was alot targeted alot in the late 90s for influencing a younger black audience.
Images needed and reflection. Looking at Connotation of dance music and the drug culture. How can you avoid this in your magazine?
