How Your Media Represents Social Groups Stereotypically
1. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
2. In my magazine I have represented my artists stereotypically. The key image in my magazine is a stereotypical representation as the artist is holding a pose which is conventional to the Hip Hop genre. The main artist is wearing designer clothes which indicates his wealth which is something typical of Hip Hop artists. However the fact that my artist is not wearing jewellery is not stereotypical as most artists of this genre usually have this in abundance. The poses of the artist in the double page spread is conventional as it shows his dominance which most Hip Hop artists tend to do. I have also incorporated slang/colloquial language in the interview on the double page spread which is stereotypical as artists of this genre usually speak in this manner.
