CULTURAL HEGEMONY- the idea that certain cultures have more power than others. Liesbet van zoonen- men act women appear, women are in media to be looked at in an attractive way. Gender is structured through messages and gender changes through context. women's bodies are put in media products to be looked at and admired in a stereotypical western patriarchal society. 'Women are a spectacle' bell hooks- feminism is for everyone, Lexis/choice of language Anchorage through captions Bias through selection of image Newsworthiness Target audience Preferred reading Dominant ideological perspective Hegemony The use of the word 'mum' brings up images for the audience of someone who is caring and nice and who loves unconditionally but this image contradicts those as she looks rough and in this image she is holding a pack of cigarettes instead of her children.

CULTIVATION THEORY- media is like seeds that are planted in our head,the more seeds you plant then the more likely it is to persuade someone into thinking something. Bias through image selection- trump media products make a response from the audience. As an audience we mediate the text- so we come to some agreement. Representations are constructed through language. Point: who,where and what is being represented Evidence: how are they represented, through the use of...

RECAP Institutions- long road and hills Masthead Skyline the daily mail and the telegraph NEWSWORTHINESS Is the story worth printing about? Will audiences want to read about it? If it bleeds it leads- so if it is a situation where someone is hurt then it is more likely to be interesting for readers. We read newspapers and watch the news to escape from our lives. HARD NEWS-serious news, political news maybe. SOFT NEWS- more tabloid and it's news that doesn't apply to our everyday lives. INTERTEXTUALITY is when one media product references another product. INTERTEXTUALITY ALLOWS TWO MODES OF ADDRESS its allows audiences to relate to the media product. it makes audiences feel good about themselves. it makes money for the show. it will mean that the show or film will be watched more as the film or show they are referencing was clearly successful. it shows the ideologies of the producer as they can incorporate things from other films.
