Production Report - for a new, teenage magazine aimed at an audience of either or both genders within the range 13 to 19 year olds.
Production Report I have been asked to create four pages of a new, teenage magazine aimed at an audience of either or both genders within the range 13 to 19 year olds. I have been asked to create the front cover, a double page spread and a contents page or an adverts section. I chose to design a music magazine for people of both genders who are aged sixteen and upwards. The magazine is mainly written for people of all ethnic origins who enjoy their music and for people who lived in the region of south-east London. The magazine was created for those who enjoy Rap, Hip-Hop and R'n'B. I chose to design this type of magazine because I enjoy music very much especially this kind of music and I know a lot about the music industry. I chose to design a magazine for this age range because I am in that age range, so it easier for me to decide what to put in the magazine because I can think of what I would like to see in the magazine and include it in. The purpose of my magazine was to entertain the audience and to inform the people what is going on in the music world. I also decided to design a contents page to show what was going to be in the magazine. I chose to use neutral colours such as red, black, white and silver so that the magazine wasn't to profuse but still caught the reader's eyes. I made the title bold, I justified it and wrote it in upper and lower case, so it would
Discuss the representation with Gary Glitter's press conference in Regents Park. Comment on the photographs, layout and copy.
English Media Coursework Title: Discuss the representation with Gary Glitter's press conference in Regents Park. Comment on the photographs, layout and copy. The layout of the article on Gary Glitter on page five of The Sun is designed to create a conspicuous representation. The headlines are large and in a white-on-black technique which is used to make them stand out more. This suggests the articles importance. There is a lot of space given to pictures as only one of them occupies half of the page and only a small space given to the copy which suggests the pictures are very significant. The top heading says, "Display of a fallen pop star," which leads the readers to think that Gary is putting on an act or show. The large main photograph is at a mid-shot angle and shows Gary centralised with police around behind him and reporters close in front of him. This builds up a sense of isolation and disgrace towards Gary. The sub-headline below the picture says, "Cops slammed on sick stunt," which again leads the readers to think Gary is putting on some sort of perverted show also suggesting the police are being criticised for allowing this event to take place. So by just looking at the article and without reading the copy the layout has already influenced the readers to feel contempt towards Gary. The copy of the article in The Sun on page five makes it seem as though Gary's
1963 VS. 2002 - Little has changed since the creation of Mademoiselle Magazine in the mid 1930's. Even though society has developed into a consumer driven enterprise, the magazine has been and still is edited to attract women ages eighteen to thirty-four
Dana Kornblum Cultural Studies September 23, 2002 963 VS. 2002 Little has changed since the creation of Mademoiselle Magazine in the mid 1930's. Even though society has developed into a consumer driven enterprise, the magazine has been and still is edited to attract women ages eighteen to thirty-four. In the September 1963 issue of Mademoiselle, the magazine's focus lay primarily in fashion, beauty and careers as editors attempted to relate to the women of the decade. These women were dedicated to their beliefs in equality as they tried to prove themselves as a dominant sex. As time progressed, columns did not change. Articles on topics such as career, fashion, beauty, and health now inundate the pages of new magazines, such as in Glamour (Mademoiselle has recently been taken out of circulation, but Glamour and Mademoiselle have merged as one), still hoping to manipulate the population and set the trends for the near future. What has changed however is the aesthetic composition of the magazine, less inhibited articles pertaining to the opposite sex, and the addition of numerous advertisements and pictures of celebrities to which recent culture has become obsessed. The table of contents in the 1963 September issue of Mademoiselle and the 2002 October issue of Glamour magazine hold such apparent similarities it is almost impossible to determine which magazine is
Media Control
Media Control Media Control vs. History Cash flows freely on deceptive propaganda campaigns flashing beyond front groups and think tanks to sell wars, trash organic agriculture, smear activists as terrorists, tell the public that mad cow disease is no big deal, and push right-wing policy agendas. As society became free from a military state and more democratic than a totalitarian state, the public relations industry could no longer resort to a bludgeon over the head of society to rein their ideology to conformity. Then the environment was ripe for the birthing of propaganda. Propaganda is clearly the alternative to bludgeoning in a totalitarian state. Media History -- During the period between World Wars I and II, a list of common rhetorical techniques was developed for propaganda purposes. The list included euphemisms, bandwagon, glittering generalities, name-calling, plain folks, and fear to name a few. Today, in the 21st century, our history is being written midst a decade of media mergers producing a web of business relationships that now define America's media culture. Though massive and complicated, the mergers offer a colossal opportunity for cross promotion and the selling of products along with talent among different companies owned by the same influential parent corporation. National History or Global History -- The first modern government propaganda
"UK national newspapers have adopted a racist attitude in their coverage of recent international events (i.e.; terrorism, asylum seekers, war with Iraq)." Discuss.
Ismaeel Mohammed Nakhuda Journalism Issues JN2031 Assignment 2 4. "UK national newspapers have adopted a racist attitude in their coverage of recent international events (i.e.; terrorism, asylum seekers, war with Iraq)." Discuss. Introduction For the purpose of discussing the above statement it would be suitable to first of all note that the question at hand is rather loose, for the purpose of this approximately 3000 word paper certain aspects shall be prioritised solely with the aim of presenting a rather much more thorough analysis of the issues which need discussing. To begin with the term 'UK national newspapers' could be considered to be a collective term within which many various broadsheets and tabloids would come under. Investigating all the various newspapers published nationally within the UK is a rather cumbersome task, possibly a dissertation would be able to give full justice to such an analysis. Hence it was decided that in order to make this investigation much more thorough The Daily Mail and The Mirror would be selected. Reasons for selecting these two papers are simply because they represent the two extremes of the left and the right in the social paradigm of the UK (McNair: 1998). We find The Daily Mail -bastion of true-blue British attitudes- to be a right wing paper, on the other hand we find The Mirror to be a left wing paper, although it should be
Building Brands without Mass Media
Building Brands without Mass Media Executive Summary COSTS, MARKET FRAGMENTATION, and new media channels that let customers bypass advertisements seem to be in league against the old ways of marketing. Relying on mass media campaigns to build strong brands may be a thing of the past. Several companies , making a virtue of necessity, have come up with alternative brand-building approaches and are blazing a trail in the post-mass-media age. The Body Shop garnered loyalty with its support of environmental and social causes. Cadbury funded a theme park tied to its history in the chocolate business. Haagen-Dazs opened posh ice-cream parlors and got itself featured by name on the menus of fine restaurants. Hugo Boss and Swatch backed athletic or cultural events that became associated with their brand. The various campaigns shared characteristics hoping they could serve as guidelines for any company hoping to build a successful brand: senior managers were closely involved with brand-building efforts; the companies recognized the importance of clarifying their core brand identity; and they made sure that all their efforts to gain visibility were tied to that core identity. Studying the methods of companies outside one's own industry and country can be instructive for managers. Pilot testing and the use of a single continuous measure of brand equity also help managers get the most

The PCC (The Press Complaints Commission) - Explain what it is
The PCC (The Press Complaints Commission) Explain what it is Who Chairs it / Sits on it Why/When was it set up Consider any high profile cases before and after its set up By Chris Barnard The Press Complaints Commission is an independent body, which deals with complaints from members of the public about the editorial content of newspapers and magazines. Their service to the public is free, quick and easy. They aim to deal with most complaints in just forty working days - and there is absolutely no cost to the people complaining. During the 1980's there was mounting concern about press standards, notably as regards the moves downmarket of the 'gutter press', as well as much concern about the invasion of privacy, in particular the relentless hounding of the younger members of the royal Family, as well as various politicians. The Conservative government therefore appointed Sir David Calcutt to run a Departmental Committee of enquiry. Calcutt Committee reported (1990) that there should be a new, non-statutory Press Complaints Commission. The Press were given eighteen months to see if it could work. If it failed, then the Government was urged to introduce legislation. The Press were warned by Government that they were 'drinking at the last chance saloon. In the event, the PCC was set up with great speed by the press in order to avoid statutory controls. It is a matter of
Target-Audience Analysis
Target-Audience Analysis English 399 - Detective Fiction Presented to: Dr. Janis Svilpis Kyle Ricord Before being able to identify whom the magazine's intended audience was, it's important to investigate what the magazine wanted to achieve. The Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine debut in 1941, and has since remained one of the most read mystery magazines on the market today. The magazines first editor-in-chief, Frederic Dannay explained his manifesto for Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine as being to "raise the sights of mystery writers generally to a genuine literary form," to "encourage good writing among our colleagues by offering a practical market not otherwise available," and to "develop new writers seeking expression in the genre." It's interesting to note that the magazines manifesto did not include any reference or obligation to the reader, but instead concentrated on the writers of the magazine. Was it Dannay's intention to have successful sales of the magazine, or was it to have successful stories in the magazine? And is there a difference between the two? So who made Ellery Queen's the most sought after mystery magazine? Many people have tried to identify a target audience of detective fiction, but have been unsuccessful in pointing to exclusively one group of individuals. Obviously what gets people to purchase a magazine is the front cover. Something about
