Game Of Thrones fans confused as Kit Harington spotted selling Christmas trees in Aberdeenshire
I choose this story because it is nice to see a positive representation of a male celebrity among all the recent accusations, especially one that's simply spreading Christmas cheer. This comes under the representation of both Events, in the Christmas themes, and gender as it shows a vulnerable Kit Harrington who's simply doing some manual labour with his family. If we compare this representation compared to most male representations in the media lately, we can see that perhaps the defining difference is the age. The only difference between Harrington and a lot of the other accused sexual offenders is he's not considered middle aged and I have yet to see a young celebrity be exposed in this latest storm of sexual offences. Granted, a lot of the accusations are from years ago, when the celebrities could perhaps be considered young, so it's possible that once current, young, male celebrities grow older, dark pasts could surface as well. In my opinion, it's a story that is pure and innocent in a time that needs it, yet it could still be used to compare and contrast other modern news stories.
