Do these articles support or challenge the way in which the collective identity of young people were constructed in contemporary newspaper reports?
These articles challenge the way in which the contemporary identity of young people were constructed, this is shown by how they have actually got an interview with on of the mods who were at Brighton - although this could lead to bias - not just what the reporters or random civilians have said, which were usually twisted by the newspapers to get a better story and to sell more papers. As well as the 'MYTHBUSTERS' article that has a quote from The Daily Mirror editor admitting that the Brighton event was "a little over reported" which would have kept the country remembering the 'horror' of that day.
Is either of these sources likely to be more or less reliable? Why?
Unfortunately the answer is that these sources are likely to be about the same reliability, if so maybe a bit more. This is due to the fact that they are from a scootering magazine aimed at Mods, therefore they would not like to anger their customers so they are more likely to be more bias towards the Mod point of view. Although, the interview article is likely to be less reliable than the 'MYTHBUSTERS' article due to the fact that it is an interview to a Mod who claimed to be there in Brighton at the time of the 'riots', therefore bias is expected.
