Explain how the media can create a sense of place. (6)

This answer should focus on the concept that exposure to different mediums depicting a place can create imagined familiarity within it. Case study use is appropriate but only one or two examples, perhaps reference to New York and how our constant exposure to music, art and cinema about New York gives us certain ideologies and experiences surrounding it, despite many people never visiting.With this idea in mind, the answer should briefly summarise the idea that this media sense of place is false, as media only shows a certain angles of place. This can be exemplified by describing be the static nature of the media,for example a photograph is only accurate for that specific moment in time, but also it's exclusionary nature, in that we don't know what happened outside of the frame.
