Gender Representation in the Media

 Gender representation in the media differs. There are a lot of reports within newspapers where males are the focus of it (e.g. the football sections are always full of praise for footballers); however, there are a lot of derogatory articles on women. An example of this is how there's always articles focusing on the drama centralised around women celebrities in newspapers, talking about their weight gain or any personal information that's going on in the celebrities life at that time. There's also the page 3 models who are exposed as they're topless.

   This shows that the producer of the newspaper is showing women in a derogatory way, because there's rarely articles expressing how strong and independent a woman is or what they've achieved; in tabloids especially, they focus heavily on the negative aspects rather the positive.
