Tom Daley - Daily Mail Article - Case Study [AGE]

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-2119121/Tom-Daley-wins-silver-medal-Beijing.html

This article shows a positive representation of young, where as most representations of young people shown through the media is negative, this shows success and dedication by 17 year old Tom Daley.
Straight away you see 'He does it again' implying Tom Daley has once again done something remarkable and achieving. In the paragraph when discussing what he did and where he was to achieve his silver medal, the use of language such as 'impressive' gives a very positive representation of Tom Daley and his diving.

The image that has been chosen to be shown is once again a very positive one, showing Tom Daley and his diving partner both next to eachother, arms around eachother showing their friendship, both smiling holding up their silver medals, this overall gives a very positive representation of Tom Daley and young people.
