vogue vs woman





















Vogue has an a list model but woman has an everyday model

The mis en scene of the main image being more important as sophia loren is taking over the anchorage
there is a significant amount of drama and this can be suggesting that vogue is better as they can afford to be more dramatic and bold with their furry hairbands and bold eye liner

alfred hitchcock is suggesting through anchorage that

  • the masthead is interrupted by the main image
  • scintillating
  • vogue is called a glossy
  • women is a weekly
  • high end vs high street fashion
  • sophia loren is more attractive and the model on women is made to look like a friend or neighbor
  • women can be read to anyone
  •  vogue is exclusive 
  • majority of people who read vogue wouldn't be able to afford any of the stuff in it but women magazine is 80p  


To what extent are WOMAN and ADBUSTERS examples of specialised and institutional media productions? Make reference to their distribution and circulation.


An institution is an organisation with a specialised brand identity.
  • woman magazine used to compete with 2 other womens magazine
  • these where called womans own and womans weekly
  • IPC publishes woman and they wanted to merge these 3 magazines
  • 3 million sales made by woman every week 
  • Oldhams (1937) was rebranded to be IPC
  • IPC is now Timeinuk 
the time uk website is mainly for advertisers as the website tells us the specific advertising audience.

Woman is a boring magazine for boring women
MINI skirts shocked the mass audiences 


this magazine manipulates the audience to believe certain ideologies

Woman reinforces patriarchal hegemony
                                                                                                                                                                     this alevel beauty article is like a game and this connotes how women are like children because they need to be cute and like to play

'tactics' shows how women are meant to be sneaky and underhand 
you are battling other women

'girls' isn't the right word as the target audience is middle ages working class women so this phrase is diminutive 

A level courses arent for women over 20 really they are very unimpressive.
these women should be PHD beauties as thats more impressive

through the use of the word 'girls' the magazine make the women feel younger

this article looks very complicated and takes a complex language

Radio- introduction

The Radio component is based purely on industry and audience. Late night woman's hour: Modern themes Late night meaning that it isn't like safe for work hours 11-12 pm Loren Laverne Younger hosts and female panelists Patriarchy- men are in power and they kind of make the rules but this radio show is aimed at just women They have different topics every week  Questions and first listen Who is the target audience for this programme?(age, gender, socio-economic status etc.) The target audience is older than my demographic so its kind of for young adults aged round 20-40 year olds with specialised talks aimed at niche groups also.
