Media Text


Newspaper Article –

How has the representation of women in the media changed in the last 50 years?

Many may say it hasn’t changed at all. Many may say it has changed dramatically. Some say for the better, some will say for the worst. But isn’t it now the case that women have equal rights to men and we, as a society, no longer have a dominant gender? This is always up for debate. Isn’t it widely believed that women are portrayed as far stronger and independent individuals. If that was the case, then why was Cindy Lauper skipping about gracefully like a school girl in the 1970s while Rihanna struts about stages as a sex object to men? These unanswered questions make sexism a difficult subject.
