<p>The fifth episode looks at the role of the media in representing and misrepresenting individuals and communities. Historically the suffrage campaigners understood the role of media in raising the profile of their campaigns. In this episode, Helen Antrobus examines both pro and anti-women’s suffrage cartoons and newspapers and reflects on the tragic death of suffragette Emily Wilding Davidson, who died as she was struck by the King’s horse at Epsom Derby. Helen also looks at recent campaigns including the 2018 Legally Black poster campaign, which showed black people in major cinematic roles, to support the fight for better black representation in the media. </p>
