learning more about the cultures in their country and how the media has an affect in it.

Channel: Channel 4Time: 9pmI have chosen this time and channel because it’s the time where people of the target audience age is more available and its not too early and not too late its appropriate for that age. Also I picked channel 4 because of previous programmes they have done on this subject, they seem to be a very open channel .
