Moral panic is when the media creates fear in the population over issue that appears to threaten or harm normal social order

Examples of moral panic:
The purge influenced killer clowns here is an article from the daily mirror:

Dr Lynes said phobia of clowns, serial killers, social media, films like the Purge and forthcoming Halloween were behind the terrifying craze sweeping the nation.

He added: "It is important to consider the significance of Coulrophobia, which is a fear of clowns. Clowns possess both human and inhuman qualities which can result in disturbing some individuals.

"This phobia is arguably perpetuated by the contemporary “evil clown” archetype developed in the 1980s, notably popularized by Stephen King’s It, and perhaps influenced by John Wayne Gacy , a real-life serial killer dubbed the Killer Clown in 1978.

Section 5- Be able to evaluate research data used by media institutions

Evaluate research data used by media institutions 

Primary- Research that you get on your own, for example personal interviews and surveys. Pros of getting primary research is that you are getting results for yourself and they will be more accurate, a con of primary research is that if you are doing a personal interview there maybe leading questions or biased answers.

Secondary- Research you get from other people, for example the internet. A pro of using secondary research is that it is very quick to get and is a lot less time consuming. A con of secondary research is that results could be from an unreliable source.

Quantitative-  Data that is information about quantities; that is, information that can be measured and written down with numbers. Some examples of quantitative data are your height, your shoe size, and the length of your fingernails. A pro of quantitative data is that you can make graphs out of your results so you get a clear reading of results, a con is that the data won't give any detail of peoples opinions

Qualitative- Qualitative data is typically descriptive data and as such is harder to analyse than quantitative data. Qualitative research is useful for studies at the individual level, and to find out, in depth, the ways in which people think or feel (e.g. case studies). Pros of qualitative data is that you get peoples detailed opinions, a con is that you don't get numerical data.

Circulation- The number of people who purchase a print product
