Magazine Advertisements Send Unhealthy Signals to Young Women
British doctors yesterday called on the media to use female models with more realistically
proportioned bodies instead of "abnormally thin" women who contributed to the rise in the numbers
of people suffering from eating disorders.
A report by the British Medical Association claimed that the promotion of rake–thin models such as
Kate Moss and Jodie Kidd was creating a distorted body image which young women tried to
imitate. It suggested that the media can trigger and perpetuate the disease.
"Female models are becoming thinner at a time when women are becoming heavier, and the gap
between the ideal body shape and reality is wider than ever," said the report. "There is a need for a
more realistic body shape to be shown on television and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The report points out that eating disorders are a mostly western phenomenon and that fewer Asian
and black women apparently suffer from them. It says that in young men, perceived body image is
"a crucial factor in the onset of the illness".
The report adds: "Advertising, in particular, may influence young people's perception of fashion and
beauty and attitudes towards food. Young women may compare themselves to extremely thin
models, working in the fashion industry or advertising products, and perceive themselves as fat in
comparison, rather than healthy and attractive."
In 1998, a survey by the Bread for Life campaign, cited by the Eating Disorders Association,
showed that 89% of women between 18 and 24 wanted more "average sized" models used in
magazines.
Yesterday, however, the London–based Premier agency, which represents Naomi Campbell and
Claudia Schiffer, said women who bought fashion magazines featuring thin models were as much to
blame as their editors and the advertisers who used them. Agencies, advertisers and magazines were
only responding to consumer demand.
"Advertisers, magazines and agencies supply the image that consumers want to see," said a
spokesman. "Statistics have repeatedly shown that if you stick a beautiful skinny girl on the cover of

Self Confidence Satire
Dear editors of every major fashion cooperation,
The issue with self–confidence has been one that has gone on for decades. Since time began,
humans have compared themselves to each other, and put themselves down because of it. As media
and technology have improved, the level of self confidence in the average human has gone down.
The importance of self–confidence is something I, and many other girls, feel very strongly about.
I've seen countless blog posts, tweets, posts on Instagram or Facebook, all talking about your
magazines or advertisements. Some are good, some are very bad. Yet it seems to me like I am seeing
more of the negativity coming through when talking about these magazines. I have observed many
reviews discussing the use of Photoshop ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
And that may be true, but when it comes down to it, it's very difficult. People, specifically men,
don't necessarily realize that when the message is splattered across social media platforms, on
television, in magazines, in stores, it's hard to ignore the message getting thrown in your face. Some
people may not understand what the big fuss is about. I hear people preach about the importance of
loving the body you have, not the one you wish you had. The same people who tell you those things,
are more than likely to be one who is considered to be 'normal weight' as deemed by the magazines.
"[Designers] want you to believe that you are not beautiful enough or young enough or thin enough,
and they do that by draping cadaverous 16–year–olds across double–page spreads so you will feel
so wretched that you will have to buy their products to make yourself feel better" (J.K. Rowling).
This statement could not have said this any better. The fashion and beauty industries today are so
hell–bent on making completely unrealistic and unreachable goals that I am not even sure they
realize the dire impact they have on women of all ages. It pains me to know that people out there are
actually getting paid lots of money to alter girls' ages, tell women how to live, and influencing their
decisions about the biggest of things; their own health. If people are going to preach about

The Irish Declaration Of Independence
The cartoon above is called "The Irish Declaration of Independence that We Are Familiar With"
published in 1883 by Frederick Burr Opper. Opper is regarded as one of the pioneers of American
newspaper comic strips, best known for his comic strip Happy Hooligan. His comic characters were
featured in magazine gag cartoons, covers, political cartoons and comic strips for six decades. The
magazine this cartoon is featured in was called Puck Magazine. Puck Magazine was America's first
successful humor magazine, which is to say it was long–lived (1876–1918), influential, and quite
prosperous. It published three large color cartoons in each issue, which for the first ten years or so
were all political in nature. Later they were increasingly purely comic or illustrative. At Puck's
height, the cartoons were among the country's most important political pronouncements of the week.
In addition to that, Puck played a critical role in the evolution of American humor, moving the art
from its tall–tales and dialect–laden roots toward the more urbane and literary humor associated
with magazines like the New Yorker.
While this cartoon is based in America the prejudice against Irish natives and immigrants had long
been in issue. Over the centuries Ireland has dealt with conquerors, loss of culture, poverty, hunger
and political strife. The emerald isle was entirely conquered and colonized by the British in the
second part of the sixteenth century. After the colonization Ireland's inhabitants

When one looks at how the media continues to communicate...
When one looks at how the media continues to communicate certain messages to the American
public, it is remarkable how some trends have continued for decades. This is particularly true
concerning images and graphics and the subtle messages that they carry in the world of print
communications. The unfortunate reality is that the media is no different from many institutions in
American society in that it has to sell products to the public in order to stay financially stable. As a
means of doing so, the media provides audiences with images that often satisfy their desires and
meet their expectations. Consequently, the inclusion of such stereotypes creates a vicious cycle as
the audience continues to be exposed to such messages and ... Show more content on

The country will always know about African–American basketball players who reside in coastal
cities such as New York or Los Angeles, but the small town country boy will remain a mystery to
the nation. Furthermore, the inclusion of the scantily clad cheerleaders on both covers suggests that
it is the girls' responsibility to keep their man's physical talents top secret. As both Larry and Doug
are positioned in a traditional masculine manner by having their brawny arms flexed around their
hips, the cheerleaders surrounding them are bending down to show off their sexy and fit bodies. The
message remains through the decades that in terms of our athletic heroes, it is the women's job to
serve the supporting role of serving in their best interests. As Potter explains, the media has
remained just as influential as it ever has in terms of reaching a vast number of people. "People
continue to spend more and more time with the media. Over the past three decades, every new
survey of media use has shown that the average person is increasing exposure every year" (Potter 5).
With such rampant exposure, the institution of the media has become only more powerful in its
efforts to disseminate messages that perpetuate stereotypes and reinforce the audience's previously
held beliefs. Unfortunately, Sports Illustrated continues to perpetuate backwards stereotypes by

Entertainment Weekly Magazine Analysis : Entertainment
Entertainment Weekly Magazine Analysis Entertainment Weekly is a weekly periodical featuring
entertainment related news stories. The magazine is notable for featuring film, television, book, and
music reviews. Unlike some magazines targeting specific demographics, Entertainment Weekly
appeals to a broad audience. Considering many people of all ages have an interest in the arts, the
magazine appeals to both young and old readers. The magazine features celebrities of all ages, along
with typically lighthearted articles geared towards a broad audience. The magazine features
entertainment related stories that target both young and old readers alike. Considering the content of
the magazine is related to the arts, the cover of the magazine usually features actors promoting

Rebel Wilson on the May 8th edition promoting her upcoming film "Pitch Perfect 2". Similar to the
current issue, the May 1st edition featured actor Tom Hardy promoting the film "Mad Max: Fury
Road'. Having celebrities on the cover (usually in character from the film they are promoting) helps
generate interest with the readers. The articles are visual, featuring pictures of the subject. The
magazine articles are colorful, frequently featuring different colored font making it visually
appealing to the reader. Taking into account the magazine heavily relies on promoting upcoming

All three covers examined are very similar in both style and content, each with an almost identical
layout. Whatever changes that do appear are few and subtle. Audiences not only influence, but also
have the ability to control the magazine and its style. This layout and formula obviously works, and
so it must continue in order to meet audience expectations and, in turn, maintain sales –'profit is
king'. In relation to representation, the magazine knows exactly who its target audience is, and gives
clues to this by the submission or omission of people, races, cultures and lifestyles. The magazine
includes, white, young and childish pop stars with 'perfect' bodies and immature behaviour. These
'impossible templates of beauty' appeal to the young, teenage, white, middle–class, heterosexual
audience as they seem to admire and relate to those featured in the pages of 'Smash Hits'. 'Smash
Hits' is a mid–price magazine, at £1.25. It is affordable without being too cheap. The language of the
magazine is obviously targeted at a younger, possibly less intelligent audience. It adopts a highly

Objectification Of Women Essay
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". However there is a well known, well discussed, universal
definition of perfection for all women. One that is consistent throughout different areas of the world
and different allotments of the human culture. This standard of the ideal woman is based off of not
only physical but intellectual standards predominantly in advertising. According to Margaret
Atwood in The Female Body, a woman's body is used in today's culture "to sell and advertise
products". These products vary from "door knockers, bottle openers, clocks with ticking bellies,
lampshades, and nutcrackers". By having stores sell these items they are completely promoting the
objectification of women to help sell their goods and services which is down right direful. How are
women expected to ever be treated equal if business' continue to sell discriminatory product,
lessening the view of the female anatomy. Materialistic items are not the only way a female's body
is exploited in today's culture. Aside from bottle openers and clocks, women are universally seen as
a "renewable" sex symbol The Female Body (pg. 1013 para. 6) especially in magazines. The Venus
Pudica was a pose used in ancient Greek art where an idealized female figure is depicted covering

with the kind, modest, motherly attitude. A prime example of this is children's toys particularly baby
dolls. Baby dolls teach young girls the stereotypical motherly role. Girls are taught how to take care
of and care for something like a mother does with her child. For example, baby dolls nowadays are

Advertising Strategies Essay
Advertising Strategies
When an advertiser places one of their advertisements into a newspaper, they want their
advertisement to appeal to the readers of that particular magazine. They could have the exact same
message, but considering their audience, they could make it more effective if they use a different
strategy to market their product. This is very common for advertising strategies to change when the
content of the magazine changes. You can relate the way that the magazine producers choose their
ads by when Steve Craig says that " program producers and schedulers must consider the target
audience needs of their clients" (162). The types of advertisements are driven by the content of the
magazine. Sports Illustrated provides a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
At the top of that half of the page, the words "The longer you wait" are there. On the other side of
the advertisement, there is a professional fisherman standing in a professional fishing boat which is
sponsored by Evan Williams. He is also wearing a jacket that has the Evan Williams logo across the
front. He is clearly is more "special" then the average Joe seen on the left side of the advertisement.
In order for the professional fisherman to look better, that half of the ad is printed in color to give it
a more lively feeling. At the bottom of the picture, the words " the better it gets." are there creating
a suggestion to the reader that if you have the patience, things will always become better. To tie the
picture back into a promotional opportunity for Evan Williams, there is a picture of a bottle of Evan
Williams whiskey in between the two pictures claiming that it is "Extra Aged". In the bottom right–
hand corner of the advertisement, it also says "Evan Williams. Aged longer to taste smoother." The
ad is trying to sell the fact that because the fisherman waited a long time, he turned out to become a
professional, and since the whiskey they make was aged, it also became better, just like the
fisherman. The reason that they chose to connect the fisherman to the quality of their whiskey was
because they anticipated a lot of males that read Sports Illustrated to be sports–minded and be just
like that average Joe fisherman. Evan

Strange as it may sound, Canadians truly love they're magazines. According to Magazines Canada
(2012), which is an organization funded by the Canadian government, Canadians read more
magazines per capita than any other nation in the world. This, in and of itself, should show the
extent in which magazines play a part in Canadian culture. In 1960 the Royal Commission on
Publications "found that 75% of the general–interest magazines bought in Canada were American
publications, that Time and Reader's Digest took 40 cents out of every dollar of magazine
advertising, and that there were only 5 Canadian general–interest consumer magazines" (S. Martin,

Mucci Mag Transformational Leader Essay
The average American receives information of current events by television, paper magazines, radio
and social media. News reporting has become a very competitive industry where creativity becomes
key to the success of the company. For a news reporting magazine like Mucci Mag to be successful,
the company will need a transformational leader who can keep the magazine moving forward in an
innovative path. 'A transformational leader expands their capabilities and move outside of the
transactional space and into a transformational space that focuses on long term solutions rather than
short term gains." (Hogg Bill, 2017). Behind the scenes at Mucci Mag (a magazine publishing
company), is a Transformational leader who works with a team of employees ... Show more content

They are courageously imperfect, embrace their true selves, and regularly exhibit integrity, vision,
and compassion in a way that awakens and inspires others." When the Transformational leader is
courageous enough to evoke changes for their team, they are also providing intellectual stimulation.
This stimulation will occur by speaking to each other, brainstorming ideas, debating topics, and
discovering and encouraging new ideas. When the Transformational leader is courageous, others in
their team will become inspired by their values and the ability to trust their way of thinking. In
conclusion, a Transformational leader with a clear vision and courage can bring change to a team.
They can inspire others with creativity and can direct a company to become innovative in their
industry. Their job requires a great deal of passion when it comes to sharing your innovative ideas
and vision with others. The Transformational leadership core is courage. When a leader leads with

Magazines no longer give girls advice on how to grow up to be a respected person or a loving
friend; instead they give advice on how to "hook up quick" or "make his dreams come true." Where
has all the wholesome advice gone? Women have let the idea of looking beautiful take over their
self–confidence and life. Healthy Place, an online magazine teaching women about living a healthy
life, says that, "today's fashion models weigh twenty–three percent less than the average female, and
a young woman between the ages of 18–34 has a seven percent chance of being as slim as a catwalk
model and a one percent chance of being as thin as a supermodel." So why do women push
themselves to be excessively thin when these models are anomalies? They do it because the media
tells them that this look is the only look that can attract men. Even if a woman is "beautiful"
according to the media's standards, she will always find something about her body that she hates,
whether it is her hair or her belly button, no women is completely satisfied. Our society is very
accepting of different religions and lifestyles, so why can we not accept different types of beauty as
well? As a teenager, I know the pressure put on females to look a certain way. I attended a public

January saw two publishing giants IPC and EMAP venture into the "no man's land" of the magazine

two companies. It was felt that with tabloid newspapers such as The Sun, The Star and The Daily

Perhaps then, despite the initial scepticism of industry insiders, the popularity of these two
magazines signify that men really do have a weekly appetite for "beer, breasts and footie". Or more
cynically as Rick Poynor, writing for eyemagazine, put it "If these products then sell, is it because
this really is what men want? Or because the evolving conventions of the global market place have
engineered public taste to respond to this rubbish?" Whether they are rubbish or not; circulation is
rising and although Nuts is winning the circulation game at present both magazines are incredible
similar.
In the 23–31 March issue Nuts promises to tell us why "Jennifer Ellison!!" is "Britain's hottest
footie fan!" (The answer may lie in the fact that she poses topless) as well as a free magazine
containing semi naked "50 sexiest footballers wives 2005". Zoo depicts a bikini clad "Blimey, I say
blimey, its Nikki Sanderson!" (who surprisingly does not appear topless) and the "12 Hottest
Hollyoaks babes ever!" (Who do). Both magazines are dominated by a mixture of scantily clad
women and football stories, of which Zoo has 18 and Nuts has 11. Both include fairly gruesome

This large and bold text catches the eye of the audience and will therefore be the first thing that
people will recognise the magazine by. In addition to this, the strap lines, placed variously around
the main image, allow the audience to gain more information about the issue and its content. An
example of this would be 'Tom Clark VS. Faris Rotter' which grabs the audience's attention and the
fact that the names are of two men gains the appeal of men as they can immediately relate to them.
By using the word 'VS' also gives the impression of fighting and violence, which is known to be a
very masculine tendency as it relates to dominance and control, two things men aspire to become.
'The Marxist concept of hegemonic masculinity states that the man should have; Physical force and
control, occupational achievement, familial patriarchy, frontiersman–ship and heterosexuality'.

Advertising : The Negative Effects Of Advertising On Women
Dear student, thank you for submitting your paper to the Write Site. I was excited to read about this
topic that you chose in regards to the negative effects of advertising on women. In particular, I
admired your in depth analysis of the location of magazine ads and how their placement can
specifically target women and young girls. I had never really thought of the underlying meaning
behind location of ads in that way before. Overall, you had some solid ideas and a good grasp on the
topic at hand.
Looking into your paper, I noticed some inconsistency with the types of arguments and evidence
that are present as well as structural issues for the paragraph separation. Your introduction begins by
discussing how marketing companies manipulate beauty to increase their sales and in return, they
negatively affect young girls and women. Then in your second paragraph, you begin to explain
further how these marketing companies have a negative effect on women, but the argument then
switches over to talking about how women are displayed with a sex appeal. While this concept
could be applied to your thesis, there is no connection between the two actually made in the paper.
Perhaps finding a way to tie back this thought to your thesis would really help solidify your overall
argument. Also, new thoughts and ideas can be moved into its own separate paragraph to keep
individual ideas to themselves. You could potentially expand upon your thought about how

People magazine has been printed for many years, and over those years, celebrity gossip and "Who

When researchers asked one hundred eighteen female, college–aged students to look at twenty
pictures in ads from women's magazines, they felt a sudden change in mood after the pictures were
observed. There was notable depression in the women, a depression that has seemed to hit many
women after leafing through women's magazines (Key and Lindgren 11). This depression is due to
the fact there are so many negative messages being conveyed in advertisements that are published in
women's magazines. But who can blame the women for their depression anyway? When the
majority of the ads in women's magazines show super–skinny models advertising nice clothes,
makeup, jewelry, etc., one might find themselves to be a little down. Skinny models portray their
figures to be the cultural norm in Western society today. How often does one find a model in a

Summary Of Advertisements R Us By Melissa Rubin
In the reading Advertisements R Us, Melissa Rubin expands upon her analysis of Coca–Colas' 1950
magazine advertisement, and brings many points to light about how the company uses cleverly
crafted advertising tactics to appeal to a specific group of Americans. By clearly communicating her
evidence to back up the analysis of the advertisement, Ruben composes a thoughtful and persuasive
paper. For example, Rubin explains how simple details, such as the use of their slogan on the
vending machine pictured which reads "Drink Coca–Cola – Work Refreshed", and the placement of
"Sprite Boy" in the ad, all work together to send a message that makes consumers want to buy their
product. Consequently, because of the evidence presented in her writing, Rubin has crafted a paper
that I find logical and persuasive. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
By adding historical context into her writing, Rubin explains the attitudes and conditions that were
present during the 1950s, and how Coke used these attitudes and conditions to promote their product
and symbolize it with optimism and energy, as well as target their product towards the highest
valued group of people at that time. For example, Rubin points out how the vast majority of people
in the ad are white males dresses as service men, blue collar workers, and business men. Also,
Rubin points out that because of the war this was the largest, and highest valued group of people in
America. By including this information into her writing, it helps support her claims about how Coke

The government of Canada was pressured to protect its local magazine producer industry market
because of the Canadian consumer became interested in buying foreign or split run publication

'Glamour' is aimed mainly at late teens to late twenties. When flicking through the magazine, I
noticed that there was more text and adverts. This reflects how the age–group has more time and
disposable income. Also, 'Glamour' was the most expensive magazine, being £1.90 and included a
website, (see figure 2,) which again indicates a higher disposable income and extra time. The front
cover yet again includes an hourglass shaped celebrity, but she is older, although she still conforms
to the dominant ideology for a young female. The magazine includes the latest fashion and make–up
styles, but on a much larger scale when compared to 'Sneak.' "MASSIVE FASHION SPECIAL:
1322 HOT NEW LOOKS." It again includes problem pages, but the problems are mainly on
lifestyle or sex, instead of dating. 'Glamour' also advertises to the stereotypical women using its
front page with the advert; "20% off SHOES At Faith for every reader." Magazines can use this
effectively, because it represents the expectations reflected by society and the media.
'Women's Own' is mostly aimed at middle aged housewives, although older people do read it,
because it would give them a chance of extended youth. The front cover for the magazine, (see

Stereotypes Of Teenagers
The ages thirteen through nineteen have been influenced by many things through the media. TV
programs, movies, advertising, magazines, and the web. These medias are more used by teenagers
than any other group. Teenagers are very difficult to figure out what they watch, or read, or listen.
It's different, but all together it's mostly the same. The TV programs have a lot of stereotypes
towards teenagers. Girls think they can't do things that guys do. There are programs out there that

In school, there are clubs and after school activities. The people running those advertise by giving
out fliers or just straight up talking to you about their club or the activities. They can also ask a
specific person, like for example, they can go to a different race and talk about a certain subject
that's referring to that race. Anyone can be advertised in any way or anything. It doesn't matter if
you're a girl or a guy or a different race. You'll be advertised anyways. Sometimes when it's a
specific type of advertisement that's referring to someone specific, it can make you think "oh it's not
for me so I should just ignore it." And it'll make you feel like that advertisement wasn't for you, but
for someone else. There are so many different kinds of magazines. There are fashion magazines,
fitness magazines, cooking magazines, and all other kinds. The ones that teens usually look at are
fashion, fitness, and sport magazines. For girls the fashion magazine is the one they would most
likely look at. They want to follow the trends and what's in and what's out of fashion and some want
to fit in with a crew that dresses differently. Same thing with the guys. Whatever's out of fashion for
them, they don't wear anymore, but for girls whatever was out can come back to trend. For the guys
that usually doesn't happen. People may think of you differently because of what you're wearing, but

The look that many women were idolizing was starting to become more unrealistic. Because we are
constantly surrounded by the media, the average person is less confident about their body image.
Women criticize themselves everyday. Many develop what is called the "too" syndrome, in which
they think of themselves as being too short, too fat, having too much acne, etc. Due to the fashion
industry, there are more and more opportunities for women to compare themselves with others, and
it is a lot of pressure to think we have to keep up. The British Medical Association states that the
gap between the ideal body type and the reality is becoming wider and wider; The models are
getting skinnier while the rest of the world is getting heavier. The average woman is 5'4 and 140 lbs,
compared to the average model who is 5'11 and 117 lbs. This gap is creating less and less self
esteem is many women. The fashion industry is a major part of popular culture. Infinite amounts of
images of fashion models and celebrities are infused into popular culture. A study shows that the
men in multiple villages in Peru, many having little experience with popular culture, were shown
pictures of women of all different shapes and sizes. The results, which were published in the journal

Teens, or girls in general read this magazine, and by placing an ad such as this in the magazine
would generally boost sales. Another aspect of this ad that would commonly appeal to the teen age
group would have been the choice of colors, and the background of the advertisement.
As far as background goes, historical background is also relatively important in the relevance of the
TI–83+ silver edition graphing calculator advertisement. Teens have many choices when it comes to
graphing calculators, so that is probably why the author chose to include a feature that not all
calculators have. The phonebook feature would appeal greatly to the viewer, hence its purpose. This
particular feature, the phonebook, would be of importance because in the past no calculator
including all other Texas Instruments calculators has offered such a feature.
The Texas Instruments advertisement also allows the viewer to make assumptions in relation to the
pictures and text displayed on the page. These assumptions could be anything from the approximate
cost of the tool, to the pondering of the ray of colors used in the composition of the calculator itself.
These different conjectures are made due to the actual composition of the advertisement itself.

Political Magazine: The Nations
Political Magazine: The Nations
In 1865, a small political magazine was founded and given the name The Nation. This magazine
was not meant to be a mainstream magazine that tries not to offend anyone. Rather The Nation was
originally intended to provide the facts of the current issues and avoid exaggeration and political
alliance with any party or sect. (The Nation's founding prospectus, 1865) Nearly 140 years later, The
Nation continues to raise eyebrows with its bold publications and political slant. Upon examining
The Nation's printed editorials and comments and the magazine's website, it can easily be found that
The Nation is a clearly liberal magazine as it has been for quite some time.
In the February 18, 2002, edition ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
While the political slant of The Nation can be clearly seen in the printed versions of the magazine, it
can perhaps be seen even more clearly in the articles that are published on The Nation's website
(http://www.thenation.com). One of the articles on the website is entitled "Going Down the Road"
and is scheduled to be printed in the March 4, 2002 issue of The Nation. This article praises a group
of "Wal–Mart Warriors" for their efforts to stop Wal–Mart from opening more stores that would
monopolize the local economy of the towns in which they are established. This opposition to Wal–
Mart is obviously a liberal idea because conservatives strongly support large corporations and would
not try to prevent large corporations from expanding.
Another article that was published on the website was entitled, "George W. in the Garden of
Gethsemane." This article could not scream the political orientation of The Nation any louder than it
already does. This letter is written in the form of an open letter from Michael Moore to President
Bush. The letter bluntly accuses Bush and his administration of being completely wrapped up in the
Enron scandal not just involved in the scandal. It even goes so far as to say Bush allowed Enron
officials to interview and pick government officials that would influence Enron and its business
affairs.

5 December 2016 A Brief History and Analysis of the Portrayal of Women in Magazines
Throughout history women have been depicted and treated as an inferior to the male all aspects of
life. It is without debate, that to this day, like many other countries, the United States of America is a
patriarchal society, valuing men over women and using various tactics to oppress women by
constructing gender roles. These gender roles are thrust upon people before birth and are reinforced
through society within the media. This object here is to provide an overview of the portrayal of
women in magazines from the late 1800's to present day. As the years progress, so do the number of
women's rights. While women are still fighting for equality, the birth of feminism has done much to
close the gender gap. Mass media, magazines in particular, facilitated in fostering a stereotype
which became the standard, and continues to be, used by society. A society that continues to oppress
and suppress its women. However, as the mass media has the capability to demystify, or to bring
down and/or destroy a particular group or person, they also have the ability of mystification, or
emulating a person or group into society's graces. I plan to review how women were portrayed since
this country's inception with an analysis of how gender equality might be possible today.

A young woman stands in front of the mirror and is disgusted by the reflection that only she can see.
Thunder thighs, flabby arms, and a pot belly obstruct her view of the beautiful, smart, and loving
woman who stares back at her. This is exactly the type of person the advertisement agencies and the
media prey upon, someone who is self–conscious and ashamed of her body, someone who is willing
to go to any length or pay any price to have the "perfect" body. In her essay, "Narcissism as

and gives your hands "a more youthful tone and texture." I can see it now, all the housewives
flipping through the pages of Good Housekeeping trying to find new recipes, then they come to this
advertisement and compare the youthful hand on the page in the magazine.
We all want to have the "perfect" body, but we do not want to have to go to the gym and work out
for hours to get it. We want it right away with no work involved. We see an advertisement in our
favorite magazine for a new product called Dior Svelte Prefect. This new product is "quick,

advertisement shows one side of a women's firm buttock and toned thigh. This new product seems
to be the answer to everyone's prayers, it's a miracle in a bottle.

the magazines themselves do as well. Cosmopolitan, a popular women's magazine, plays a major
role in making women feel insecure about their bodies. Supermodel, Claudia Schiffer, graced the

Ethical and Legal Issues in Magazines
Ethical and legal issues
According to D. E. Summer and S. Rhoades in Magazines: a complete guide to the industry;
magazines face the same legal and ethical issues than newspapers: "[...] plagiarism, libel, slander,
invasion of privacy, editorial bias, and inaccuracy"[1]. Indeed, there are some limits to what a
journalist can write, an editor can publish, a photographer can photograph, and a designer can
design. Magazines go sometimes beyond the ethical or legal bounds. All these issues are parts of the
decision–making process that magazines have to handle.
□ Ethical issues
It is a tough decision to run an article or not when it comes to an ethical issue. Magazines writers
face dilemmas. On one hand they are "[...] the public ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It is the editor's responsibility to draw the limit between the editorial content and what advertisers
want. Advertisers also give controversial ads that can raise some ethical problems for the readers.
Some examples of controversial ads such as Benetton, Tom ford Perfume, Dolce&Gabbana,
American Apparel or a French campaign against Aids (a man making love to a giant–black
scorpion)[6] have been seen in most famous fashion magazines. They are always racial, ethnicity or
sexual oriented which can be good when it creates a buzz but also can be associated with the
magazine's image and may damage the latter (obviously it depends also on the magazine's policy,
conservative or not).
The code of ethics (several are available) is a set of rules that can help journalists to make the right
decision, a sort of written standards that can be used as guidelines and there are not binding.
According to the code of ethics, journalists should seek the truth and report it, minimize harm, act
independently, and be accountable. It can be used as a general guideline but cannot be followed
exactly as it is, because it may be too vague to be applied and sometimes it does not give clear–cut
advice, does not fit with the magazines policy or does not correspond to the writer, editor,
photographer or designer's point of view, value or principles. When the code of ethic is not useful
enough, then they have to check with their own personal ethics which means taking a very

Presentation of Idealised Lifestyles in Editorial and Advertisements of Magazines
The two magazines I have chosen to compare for this coursework are 'Hello! Magazine, September
21st 2004' and 'Nuts Magazine, Thursday 1st October 2004'. I have decided on these two magazines
because they are aimed at two greatly different audiences.
'Hello! Magazine' was first published to the public on the January of 1990. This was a time when
'Hello!' was more then just information of celebrities and their lifestyles. The audience, as today's,
was still mainly women readers.
[IMAGE]
This is quite an old front page of 'Hello!' It has one main story and five sub–stories. However, if you
compare this edition ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
On the cover, it has a big picture of a famous wedding that took place that week, and the cover story
has lots of brilliant photos of the occasion, making the reader feel that they were invited and saw all
the action of the day. It also has lots of interviews with other famous starts, including a lady who
still looks very, very well at 70 years old, and Donny Osmond in his house with his family.
All the stories are aimed at the 25–40's and wouldn't suit any other audience, old or young. It does
have a few adverts, advertising perfume, house interior and food. This is appropriate advertising in
this magazine. If it had adverts on football boots costing £99, it would be a waste of space and the
makers would not make any profit at all. It would be getting the audience wrong and would show
un–professionalism.
In all the pictures, apart from the photos that where not organized with the celebrity, the people
involved in the photo are always looking into the camera lens and smiling. This makes the person
look like they are smiling at you and shows that in the interview, they were upbeat, friendly and
having a good time. In the interviews, the author/interviewer describes every detail of the moment;
expressions, actions, the way they said their sentence, making the reader picture this interview.

  • 3. Magazine Advertisements Send Unhealthy Signals to Young Women British doctors yesterday called on the media to use female models with more realistically proportioned bodies instead of "abnormally thin" women who contributed to the rise in the numbers of people suffering from eating disorders. A report by the British Medical Association claimed that the promotion of rake–thin models such as Kate Moss and Jodie Kidd was creating a distorted body image which young women tried to imitate. It suggested that the media can trigger and perpetuate the disease. "Female models are becoming thinner at a time when women are becoming heavier, and the gap between the ideal body shape and reality is wider than ever," said the report. "There is a need for a more realistic body shape to be shown on television and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The report points out that eating disorders are a mostly western phenomenon and that fewer Asian and black women apparently suffer from them. It says that in young men, perceived body image is "a crucial factor in the onset of the illness". The report adds: "Advertising, in particular, may influence young people's perception of fashion and beauty and attitudes towards food. Young women may compare themselves to extremely thin models, working in the fashion industry or advertising products, and perceive themselves as fat in comparison, rather than healthy and attractive." In 1998, a survey by the Bread for Life campaign, cited by the Eating Disorders Association, showed that 89% of women between 18 and 24 wanted more "average sized" models used in magazines. Yesterday, however, the London–based Premier agency, which represents Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer, said women who bought fashion magazines featuring thin models were as much to blame as their editors and the advertisers who used them. Agencies, advertisers and magazines were only responding to consumer demand. "Advertisers, magazines and agencies supply the image that consumers want to see," said a spokesman.

  • 4. Self Confidence Satire Dear editors of every major fashion cooperation, The issue with self–confidence has been one that has gone on for decades. Since time began, humans have compared themselves to each other, and put themselves down because of it. As media and technology have improved, the level of self confidence in the average human has gone down. The importance of self–confidence is something I, and many other girls, feel very strongly about. I've seen countless blog posts, tweets, posts on Instagram or Facebook, all talking about your magazines or advertisements. Some are good, some are very bad. Yet it seems to me like I am seeing more of the negativity coming through when talking about these magazines. I have observed many reviews discussing the use of Photoshop ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... And that may be true, but when it comes down to it, it's very difficult. People, specifically men, don't necessarily realize that when the message is splattered across social media platforms, on television, in magazines, in stores, it's hard to ignore the message getting thrown in your face. Some people may not understand what the big fuss is about. I hear people preach about the importance of loving the body you have, not the one you wish you had. The same people who tell you those things, are more than likely to be one who is considered to be 'normal weight' as deemed by the magazines. "[Designers] want you to believe that you are not beautiful enough or young enough or thin enough, and they do that by draping cadaverous 16–year–olds across double–page spreads so you will feel so wretched that you will have to buy their products to make yourself feel better" (J.K. Rowling). This statement could not have said this any better. The fashion and beauty industries today are so hell–bent on making completely unrealistic and unreachable goals that I am not even sure they realize the dire impact they have on women of all ages. It pains me to know that people out there are actually getting paid lots of money to alter girls' ages, tell women how to live, and influencing their decisions about the biggest of things; their own health.

  • 5. The Irish Declaration Of Independence The cartoon above is called "The Irish Declaration of Independence that We Are Familiar With" published in 1883 by Frederick Burr Opper. Opper is regarded as one of the pioneers of American newspaper comic strips, best known for his comic strip Happy Hooligan. His comic characters were featured in magazine gag cartoons, covers, political cartoons and comic strips for six decades. The magazine this cartoon is featured in was called Puck Magazine. Puck Magazine was America's first successful humor magazine, which is to say it was long–lived (1876–1918), influential, and quite prosperous. It published three large color cartoons in each issue, which for the first ten years or so were all political in nature. Later they were increasingly purely comic or illustrative. At Puck's height, the cartoons were among the country's most important political pronouncements of the week. In addition to that, Puck played a critical role in the evolution of American humor, moving the art from its tall–tales and dialect–laden roots toward the more urbane and literary humor associated with magazines like the New Yorker. While this cartoon is based in America the prejudice against Irish natives and immigrants had long been in issue. Over the centuries Ireland has dealt with conquerors, loss of culture, poverty, hunger and political strife. The emerald isle was entirely conquered and colonized by the British in the second part of the sixteenth century. After the colonization Ireland's inhabitants ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. When one looks at how the media continues to communicate... When one looks at how the media continues to communicate certain messages to the American public, it is remarkable how some trends have continued for decades. This is particularly true concerning images and graphics and the subtle messages that they carry in the world of print communications. The unfortunate reality is that the media is no different from many institutions in American society in that it has to sell products to the public in order to stay financially stable. As a means of doing so, the media provides audiences with images that often satisfy their desires and meet their expectations. Consequently, the inclusion of such stereotypes creates a vicious cycle as the audience continues to be exposed to such messages and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The country will always know about African–American basketball players who reside in coastal cities such as New York or Los Angeles, but the small town country boy will remain a mystery to the nation. Furthermore, the inclusion of the scantily clad cheerleaders on both covers suggests that it is the girls' responsibility to keep their man's physical talents top secret. As both Larry and Doug are positioned in a traditional masculine manner by having their brawny arms flexed around their hips, the cheerleaders surrounding them are bending down to show off their sexy and fit bodies. The message remains through the decades that in terms of our athletic heroes, it is the women's job to serve the supporting role of serving in their best interests. As Potter explains, the media has remained just as influential as it ever has in terms of reaching a vast number of people. "People continue to spend more and more time with the media. Over the past three decades, every new survey of media use has shown that the average person is increasing exposure every year" (Potter 5). With such rampant exposure, the institution of the media has become only more powerful in its efforts to disseminate messages that perpetuate stereotypes and reinforce the audience's previously held beliefs. Unfortunately, Sports Illustrated continues to perpetuate backwards stereotypes by issuing its very popular swimsuit ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Entertainment Weekly Magazine Analysis : Entertainment Entertainment Weekly Magazine Analysis Entertainment Weekly is a weekly periodical featuring entertainment related news stories. The magazine is notable for featuring film, television, book, and music reviews. Unlike some magazines targeting specific demographics, Entertainment Weekly appeals to a broad audience. Considering many people of all ages have an interest in the arts, the magazine appeals to both young and old readers. The magazine features celebrities of all ages, along with typically lighthearted articles geared towards a broad audience. The magazine features entertainment related stories that target both young and old readers alike. Considering the content of the magazine is related to the arts, the cover of the magazine usually features actors promoting upcoming film or television projects. The most recent edition of the magazine features celebrity Rebel Wilson on the May 8th edition promoting her upcoming film "Pitch Perfect 2".

  • 9. Objectification Of Women Essay "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". However there is a well known, well discussed, universal definition of perfection for all women. One that is consistent throughout different areas of the world and different allotments of the human culture. This standard of the ideal woman is based off of not only physical but intellectual standards predominantly in advertising. According to Margaret Atwood in The Female Body, a woman's body is used in today's culture "to sell and advertise products". These products vary from "door knockers, bottle openers, clocks with ticking bellies, lampshades, and nutcrackers". By having stores sell these items they are completely promoting the objectification of women to help sell their goods and services which is down right direful. How are women expected to ever be treated equal if business' continue to sell discriminatory product, lessening the view of the female anatomy. Materialistic items are not the only way a female's body is exploited in today's culture. Aside from bottle openers and clocks, women are universally seen as a "renewable" sex symbol The Female Body (pg. 1013 para. 6) especially in magazines.

This is very common for advertising strategies to change when the content of the magazine changes.

On the other side of the advertisement, there is a professional fisherman standing in a professional fishing boat which is sponsored by Evan Williams. He is also wearing a jacket that has the Evan Williams logo across the front. He is clearly is more "special" then the average Joe seen on the left side of the advertisement. In order for the professional fisherman to look better, that half of the ad is printed in color to give it a more lively feeling. At the bottom of the picture, the words " the better it gets." are there creating a suggestion to the reader that if you have the patience, things will always become better. To tie the picture back into a promotional opportunity for Evan Williams, there is a picture of a bottle of Evan Williams whiskey in between the two pictures claiming that it is "Extra Aged". In the bottom right– hand corner of the advertisement, it also says "Evan Williams. Aged longer to taste smoother." The ad is trying to sell the fact that because the fisherman waited a long time, he turned out to become a professional, and since the whiskey they make was aged, it also became better, just like the fisherman. The reason that they chose to connect the fisherman to the quality of their whiskey was because they anticipated a lot of males that read Sports Illustrated to be sports–minded and be just like that average Joe fisherman.

Magazines no longer give girls advice on how to grow up to be a respected person or a loving friend; instead they give advice on how to "hook up quick" or "make his dreams come true." Where has all the wholesome advice gone? Women have let the idea of looking beautiful take over their self–confidence and life. Healthy Place, an online magazine teaching women about living a healthy life, says that, "today's fashion models weigh twenty–three percent less than the average female, and a young woman between the ages of 18–34 has a seven percent chance of being as slim as a catwalk model and a one percent chance of being as thin as a supermodel." So why do women push themselves to be excessively thin when these models are anomalies? They do it because the media tells them that this look is the only look that can attract men. Even if a woman is "beautiful" according to the media's standards, she will always find something about her body that she hates, whether it is her hair or her belly button, no women is completely satisfied. Our society is very accepting of different religions and lifestyles, so why can we not accept different types of beauty as well? As a teenager, I know the pressure put on females to look a certain way. I attended a public high school in a rather wealthy area.

Faris Rotter' which grabs the audience's attention and the fact that the names are of two men gains the appeal of men as they can immediately relate to them.

I was excited to read about this topic that you chose in regards to the negative effects of advertising on women. In particular, I admired your in depth analysis of the location of magazine ads and how their placement can specifically target women and young girls. I had never really thought of the underlying meaning behind location of ads in that way before. Overall, you had some solid ideas and a good grasp on the topic at hand. Looking into your paper, I noticed some inconsistency with the types of arguments and evidence that are present as well as structural issues for the paragraph separation. Your introduction begins by discussing how marketing companies manipulate beauty to increase their sales and in return, they negatively affect young girls and women. Then in your second paragraph, you begin to explain further how these marketing companies have a negative effect on women, but the argument then switches over to talking about how women are displayed with a sex appeal. While this concept could be applied to your thesis, there is no connection between the two actually made in the paper. Perhaps finding a way to tie back this thought to your thesis would really help solidify your overall argument.

And it'll make you feel like that advertisement wasn't for you, but for someone else. There are so many different kinds of magazines. There are fashion magazines, fitness magazines, cooking magazines, and all other kinds. The ones that teens usually look at are fashion, fitness, and sport magazines. For girls the fashion magazine is the one they would most likely look at. They want to follow the trends and what's in and what's out of fashion and some want to fit in with a crew that dresses differently. Same thing with the guys. Whatever's out of fashion for them, they don't wear anymore, but for girls whatever was out can come back to trend. For the guys that usually doesn't happen. People may think of you differently because of what you're wearing, but they really don't know who you really are. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The look that many women were idolizing was starting to become more unrealistic. Because we are constantly surrounded by the media, the average person is less confident about their body image. Women criticize themselves everyday. Many develop what is called the "too" syndrome, in which they think of themselves as being too short, too fat, having too much acne, etc. Due to the fashion industry, there are more and more opportunities for women to compare themselves with others, and it is a lot of pressure to think we have to keep up. The British Medical Association states that the gap between the ideal body type and the reality is becoming wider and wider; The models are getting skinnier while the rest of the world is getting heavier. The average woman is 5'4 and 140 lbs, compared to the average model who is 5'11 and 117 lbs. This gap is creating less and less self esteem is many women. The fashion industry is a major part of popular culture. Infinite amounts of images of fashion models and celebrities are infused into popular culture.

Teens, or girls in general read this magazine, and by placing an ad such as this in the magazine would generally boost sales. Another aspect of this ad that would commonly appeal to the teen age group would have been the choice of colors, and the background of the advertisement. As far as background goes, historical background is also relatively important in the relevance of the TI–83+ silver edition graphing calculator advertisement. Teens have many choices when it comes to graphing calculators, so that is probably why the author chose to include a feature that not all calculators have. The phonebook feature would appeal greatly to the viewer, hence its purpose. This particular feature, the phonebook, would be of importance because in the past no calculator including all other Texas Instruments calculators has offered such a feature. The Texas Instruments advertisement also allows the viewer to make assumptions in relation to the pictures and text displayed on the page. These assumptions could be anything from the approximate cost of the tool, to the pondering of the ray of colors used in the composition of the calculator itself. These different conjectures are made due to the actual composition of the advertisement itself. Then comes the purpose of the advertisement.

  • 29. Political Magazine: The Nations Political Magazine: The Nations In 1865, a small political magazine was founded and given the name The Nation. This magazine was not meant to be a mainstream magazine that tries not to offend anyone. Rather The Nation was originally intended to provide the facts of the current issues and avoid exaggeration and political alliance with any party or sect. (The Nation's founding prospectus, 1865) Nearly 140 years later, The Nation continues to raise eyebrows with its bold publications and political slant. Upon examining The Nation's printed editorials and comments and the magazine's website, it can easily be found that The Nation is a clearly liberal magazine as it has been for quite some time.

While the political slant of The Nation can be clearly seen in the printed versions of the magazine, it can perhaps be seen even more clearly in the articles that are published on The Nation's website (http://www.thenation.com). One of the articles on the website is entitled "Going Down the Road" and is scheduled to be printed in the March 4, 2002 issue of The Nation. This article praises a group of "Wal–Mart Warriors" for their efforts to stop Wal–Mart from opening more stores that would monopolize the local economy of the towns in which they are established. This opposition to Wal– Mart is obviously a liberal idea because conservatives strongly support large corporations and would not try to prevent large corporations from expanding. Another article that was published on the website was entitled, "George W. in the Garden of Gethsemane." This article could not scream the political orientation of The Nation any louder than it already does. This letter is written in the form of an open letter from Michael Moore to President Bush. The letter bluntly accuses Bush and his administration of being completely wrapped up in the Enron scandal not just involved in the scandal. It even goes so far as to say Bush allowed Enron officials to interview and pick government officials that would influence Enron and its business affairs. When reading a ...

It is without debate, that to this day, like many other countries, the United States of America is a patriarchal society, valuing men over women and using various tactics to oppress women by constructing gender roles. These gender roles are thrust upon people before birth and are reinforced through society within the media. This object here is to provide an overview of the portrayal of women in magazines from the late 1800's to present day. As the years progress, so do the number of women's rights. While women are still fighting for equality, the birth of feminism has done much to close the gender gap. Mass media, magazines in particular, facilitated in fostering a stereotype which became the standard, and continues to be, used by society. A society that continues to oppress and suppress its women. However, as the mass media has the capability to demystify, or to bring down and/or destroy a particular group or person, they also have the ability of mystification, or emulating a person or group into society's graces. I plan to review how women were portrayed since this country's inception with an analysis of how gender equality might be possible today.

Some examples of controversial ads such as Benetton, Tom ford Perfume, Dolce&Gabbana, American Apparel or a French campaign against Aids (a man making love to a giant–black scorpion)[6] have been seen in most famous fashion magazines. They are always racial, ethnicity or sexual oriented which can be good when it creates a buzz but also can be associated with the magazine's image and may damage the latter (obviously it depends also on the magazine's policy, conservative or not). The code of ethics (several are available) is a set of rules that can help journalists to make the right decision, a sort of written standards that can be used as guidelines and there are not binding. According to the code of ethics, journalists should seek the truth and report it, minimize harm, act independently, and be accountable.
