Newspaper

   Newspapers! Newspapers! The Baltimore Sun, USA Today, Washington Post and New York Times. Most of the information that is in the newspaper is Politics battling Religion,  Religion battling politics, and democrats versus republicans.Who has the best food in town and what hospital screwed up.The other issues that are being mention in the paper is crime or a you tube video that has reached 1,000,000 hits. Which all can be access on the Internet. Mostly older people buy the newspaper because they don't have access to the Internet or unsure on how to work a computer. Some people buy the newspapers just to keep a hard copy of an memorable event that could have happen. Newspapers give local news on you neighborhood, while the media touch on generalized topics. Newspapers wont survive because technology is constantly growing and everything and everybody is trying to find a new to make things mobile. Most people today don't buy the newspaper because they have cell phones. Instead of waiting for the newspaper the very next day you save time and money by searching the news on your cell phone.

Magazines try to give you the illusion that celebrities, places, and things are the ideal image of perfection. If you do not possess those qualities or self image of those celebrities, you are not perfect. Some of these images want us to idolize these individuals and for us to aspire to be like them. Headlines on magazines are saying, “Look at the sexy socialite" and underneath the photo another headline saying, "She is perfect".  When you see this type of headline people may react by buying that outfit or to start exercising by running around the track to become tone and slim.

         Even though magazines are supposed to be used for entertainment purposes, each magazine has a hidden agenda they want the viewer to see. Magazines can have a negative impact, especially the gossip magazines. Gossip magazines expose the negative aspect of a person life such as drinking, partying, and walking around half naked.  This is not the role model that we would want our kids, brothers and sisters to see. Men are represented as powerful and strong while woman is betrayed as a half naked accessory. Images that stand out to me are usually the ones that show the hot current trends. Usually I don't buy magazine. I save $4.53 or more by putting the magazine back on the shelf and go online to Google to find what I need instead bringing them home so that my daughter or my sisters would not  see very explicit pictures of half naked woman with a headline saying I am beautiful. People love embarrassing and demoralizing images that are deviance. It gives most of us something to talk about.  I'm assuming the message that would come across to me is that I would have to be half naked on a magazine and rich to be beautiful.
