 BIG NEWS AND CURRENT EVENTS IN THE NEWS

Create a timeline and description of the following events that took place 2017-2021 so that you understand the contexts around them. It would really help you if you found front covers from the main papers (broadsheet, mid and tabloids) Mediation, Construction, Bias, Selection, Omission Stereotypes and Representation. Don't forget to add news values.
