Social Class

Social Class

In the media I will come across lots of people that come under different social classes. They are categorised by either their wealth, money, occupation, upbringing and many other things. Media revolves a lot around social class and I will consider this when producing my newspaper, thinking about not only my age and gender target audience but also my social class.

Social Grade	Social Status	Occupation
A	upper middle class	higher managerial, administrative or professional
B	middle class	intermediate managerial, administrative or professional
C1	lower middle class	supervisory or clerical, junior managerial, administrative or professional
C2	skilled working class	skilled manual workers
D	working class	semi and unskilled manual workers
E	those at lowest level of subsistence	state pensioners or widows (no other earner), casual or lowest grade workers
