Journalism in the dock
Young people put the media on trial in the court of young people's opinion.
Frequently stereotyped as 'hoodies', 'thugs' and 'marauders', young people are more than offended by mainstream media claims.
In a bid to settle this dispute, members in Belfast hold their own court of young people's opinion, staging a debate that highlights this struggle for fair representation in the media.
This short film presents findings from a survey completed by Headliners members and was shortlisted from more 150 entries in the Hansard Society's competition, 'Raw Deal or Truth Told'.
