Moral Panic
Moral panic in the media industry is when an event happens so suddenly that can upset the public. Miley Cyrus is a good example of moral panic in the media industry at the moment, this is because as a kid, Miley Cyrus grew up in Disney as fictional character called 'Hanna Montana'. From being an innocent Disney star to making music videos in which she is hardly dressed, creates a moral panic for everyone. Parents are the ones who are mainly concerned with 'the new Miley Cyrus', this because their children will be watching her on the TV and copy her dress sense or how she acts. Britney Spears at the time her first video came out would have created a moral panic. However, she doesn't reveal as much as Miley Cyrus does. Both videos are 'coming of age videos', basically doing what teenagers are doing or want to do, so this would defiantly create a moral panic for most parents.
