Greetings all!
My name's Scott Lewis, and I'm a third-year Journalism student at the University of Sunderland.
I also have a grandmother who suffers from severe Alzheimers disease, so I have natrual interest in the subject.
What I wish to ask here is:
How do you all think the media represents Alzheimers disease and those affected by it? Fairly? Unfairly? Patronisingly? By this I mean all aspects of the media- Coronation Street to Panorama. Does the media present it fairly? Have you seen a particular good or bad representation of Alzheimer's disease in a film or TV series? Anything along these lines would be much appreciated.
I would be very interested to hear people's views on this matter, along with any websites or shows/episodes you think are particularly relevant. Please feel free to say anything you like ^^!
Thanks very much for taking the time to have a read of this I really appreciate it.
Regards,
Scott Lewis
