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

“Is Logan fairly represented in the media, or does the media disadvantage people of the community through prejudice and reinforced stereotypes? ” VByNm
The Members of Logan are divided on the issue of Logan City’s representation in the media through prejudice and reinforced stereotypes. The City of Logan is located between Queensland’s capital city of Brisbane, and the diverse localities; Gold Coast, Redlands, Ipswich and the Scenic Rim. Logan has a population of 334, 358 people, comprising 217 nationalities and cultures, with approximately 50% of residents aged 30 or younger (Logan city Council, 2019). However, Logan City was represented as a lack of security location with a high profile of violent crimes (G. Zappia, 2014). The City's representation also portrayed as "Brazen youth gangs terrorising Brisbane” through NewsComAu website article in 2018, and was ranked as Brisbane’s top suburbs for car and home theft insurance claims published by M. Dennien in 2020. Yet, the members of Logan have reputations of shit-faced and intergenerational welfare dependency (N. Brown, 2020). As media outlets such as Ahuri, NewsComAu, Brisbane Times, and The Chronicle have represented the negative images and perceptions of the Logan community. Many media outlets have unfairly represented the city and had disadvantaged members of Logan based on unreliable and inaccurate sources and certain people. The media had disadvantaged people of the Logan community as many media outlets tend to focus on a particular group of people. In 2014 the ‘Ahuri’ media outlet published an article title ‘Addressing concentrations of disadvantage Logan Central/Logan City case study report’ stated, “But most acknowledged that perceptions of community safety in the area are low, and this is supported by a recent council survey, Logan Listens (Iris Research 2013), which reports that fear of crime is a primary concern…”. The report shows facts since it was a survey, but it was acknowledged by most participants who interviewed in the survey. This indicates that the media primarily focused on a certain group of people and put the city as a disadvantage. The reason is that the claim did not allow the city to be correctly represented because it did not fairly portray a true representation of Logan. The media has only described and reinforced on the negative Logan’s perception of community safety and crimes but other positive perception. In 2018 an article titled ‘Brazen youth gangs terrorising Brisbane’ published in ‘NewsComAu’ media website contains a picture of young people displayed money on the floor in letters ‘4114*’ which expressed Logan area postcode. It demonstrates that the media mainly focused on a specific group of people and had disadvantaged the members of Logan. Reason being, the title was unfairly represented Logan’s image and further created new stereotypes of the members. It conveyed and only allowed the audiences to picture and prejudge young people of the community as gangsters who destroyed the Brisbane City and caused problems for others. Therefore, many media outlets had disadvantaged the Logan community by unfairly represented the city centred on certain people. However, the media also had disadvantaged members of Logan by represented the city with unreliable and inaccurate information. Additionally, the media had disadvantaged people of Logan city as many media platforms provided an unreliable and inaccurate report about the city. On the 21st of January 2020, Logan was represented through the media platform named ‘Brisbane Times’ as a second most insurance claims of “22. 67%” in Queensland under the article title ‘Brisbane’s top suburbs for car and home theft claims’. The percentage, however, was ranked by the number of claims in each region, which was not calculated as a percentage of claims to the total number of car and house in each region has. For example, the number Logan City claimed for car and home insurance was 1, 243 cases but has a population of 334, 358 in 2019. Whereas, Ipswich claimed 7. 28% and has a population of 219, 890 in the same year. This indicates the media had used unreliable and inaccurate information which put the Logan city as a disadvantage. Reason being, it did not represent the city correctly because it did not fairly portray a true representation of Logan. The given data was directly converted into percentages for ranking, but it was used to illustrate viewers that the city was one in five most theft criminal offence occurred in Queensland. The faulty information was then reinforced on stereotypes of lacks of security community with the high profile of crimes image. In an article titled ‘Australia’s ‘worst’ towns revealed’ published in January 2020 by N. Brown expressed that the Logan’ common hobbies were known for “sh*t-faced” and “intergenerational welfare dependency” wrote in a review of the city. It shows that the media provided an unreliable and inaccurate source of a claim and thus disadvantaged members of Logan. Considering, it did not allow the city to be correctly portrayed because it unfairly represented the city with the inappropriate source –personal opinion. The media had prejudiced people of the community and had reinforced stereotypes that Logan’s generations to generations were dependent upon Government support for their life-wellbeing and that the members of Logan are always on drugs and under the influence of alcohol as their face is shown. Therefore, many media platforms had disadvantaged people of the community, showing the issue member of Logan were faced by unfairly represented Logan City basis unreliable and inaccurate sources. Generally, for many years, the members of Logan City have been dealing with negative representations represented no the media as it did not allow the city to be correctly represented but unfairly represented the city. Many media had disadvantaged people of the community through prejudice and reinforced stereotypes based on certain people and faulty information. Some claim, however, shows that the community worked hard on the reinventing the Logan City over the last decade to become a proud and successful suburb reflected in the media.
