Practice question. Explain mediation of reality in advertising. [3 practice marks]

The theory views advertising as a constructed representation of reality. Advertisers select scenes, characters and symbols that associate a product with a particular version of life. Viewers may use those representations to form expectations, although the advertisement is not a complete or neutral account of reality.
