Women and Media Representation

-

 

Hi, my fellow... fellow? Sorry, I meant.. humans, yes, that. Humans!!! I hope you all are having a great day. Again, thank you for passing by. In today's blog, we are going to dive into some ways in which women are represented in media. How media sources showcase them as immaculate beings with no flaws and cater them towards beauty enhancements along with diets for better shape, etc. 

Women in media are, most of the time, shown with perfect profiles, flawless skin, perfect curves, and shocking stylish attires. or in the opposite case, with little, to almost no attires, taking advantage of their hard-to-believe body shapes. Not just that, but because women are understood as beauty lovers, the majority of the media catered for them attempts to be aesthetically pleasing. Having, nice, soft, or contrasting colors with unharmful things on its visuals.

On the other hand, women in media are usually represented and alluded to by the usage of kitchen utensils and home decorations along with baby-related topics. This is because of their almost inherited but not always present, future role as a mother. With this, women are represented as; individuals of unbelievable beauty lured to and attracted to anything that has beauty or happens to be a beauty enhancement or motherly related topics along with its roles. 


This topic was of use for my magazine idea because it enhanced my knowledge ad understanding of how to correlate and attempt to lure more audience for my photography magazine since I now know what kind of colors, textures, and visuals I could start considering to include in my project.

  The Birth of a Photographer   “Photography is the encapsulation of the beauty within moments, feelings, or emotions… It is just like painting with light” That is the definition of the word Photography for the blooming entrepreneur Joel del Olmo. At his age of 17, he has already found his passion and guidance towards his future as his enjoyment lays on the ambition to become a professional, recognized photographer. Though his passion spurred almost instantaneously after getting introduced into this pixeled world, his mind created long-term projects, goals to accomplish, and tasks to fulfill. He understood that doing nothing would take him nowhere and so he began his journey. Step by step. It was just another day like any other in 2018 when del Olmo stopped to look at his surroundings. To realize the details that only got glimpses and were never something to be mesmerized from. What he saw was; Beauty. Stories. Emotions… Art. “It was just there, waiting for me to see it and I was

                          In this research on Magazine Demographic it was found that 78% of readers are Male and 22% of the readers are Females. This information will be valuable with developing my magazine. Although this information is from 2008 so this could change. MarketingCharts’ own  US Media Audience Demographics  study demonstrates a similar trend. During Spring 2017, 56.1% of adults surveyed said they had read a print edition of a magazine in the previous week, down from 61.7% saying so a couple of years earlier. The report reveals strong discrepancies in print magazine readership by age, with adults ages 65 and older about twice as likely as those ages 18-24 to report having read a print magazine in the past week (73% and 36%, respectively). The print magazine audience tends to be skewing older over time, too. The report’s 2017 data showed that 44.7% of US monthly magazine readers were aged 55 and older, compared to 41.2% in 2015. By comparison, just 29.9% of online adults wh
