Newspapers

Newspapers are beneficial in many ways , but are yet outdated. Newspaper distribution is deminishing while technology is increasing. Since technology is evolving many hand written prompts are decreasing in value to today's society. There are many types of newspapers far as category's. Newspapers are categorized far as regional , local , and national. Regional newspapers seem to be of up most importance to many areas. Regional newspapers may still be in existence once all other newspapers become extinct. Regional newspapers tell about the events happening closer to you and are specific about the events being discussed or mentioned in the paper.  
The closer the event is occurring to you, the more concerned you'll be as a civilian. Topics world wide are important but the need to know what's particularly going on around you are more important . I believe regional newspapers are going to last because the text is more in depth and gives you a visual of the content that's being covered, and is a more sophisticated text written. National newspapers are not going to last because of the language used throughout the text , the actual text depth, and there isn't anything visual for readers.National newspapers are mainly right and doesn't seem interesting because there no images or specific topics. There are only a few broad topics being hit on that throughout the national newspapers.The local newspapers are to vague and contains to much information that's not unnecessary but the information isn't always a necessity.Each newspaper contains the basic information , but the diction used throughout the paper , importance of the subject being discussed, and sophistication are huge things to worry about when looking at newspapers who will survive.

Magazine Influences

Do magazine covers make you or break you?


 
Whats seen in the media normally determines what a person should act , look and be classified as. The feeling of acceptance in society, as the perfect human being ,often comes from the images placed on the front cover of magazines, billboards, and other images revealed to numerous people.Many of the images on magazine consist of slim/thin men or women thats in shape, toned out, nice complexion, and are actually rich/famous in real life often catching a buyers attention.The images placed on the front of magazines are normally classified as beautiful or handsome.


Magazine covers can be a positive influence in one's life as well as a negative influence. Magazine covers as revealed in the one underneath , may degrade women that isnt this petite or skin tone. One may feel since there image isnt on the front of a magazine then its wrong or they should do everything to be the image on the front of that magazine ,which men/women lust over.
Many of the times there is not a lot of diverisity in magazines. The front image normally tells you the race , class, and characteristics of the people thatll be contained in the magazine. Women are often represented as sexy or beautiful and petite with one image . Men are often represented as buff, athletic, and handsome.
Success and wealth is often displayed on the front of magazines.Magazines are normally filled with gossip because they are written opionated by the author.Magazines are bias most of the time because of the author and or publisher of the magazine.
