The sun Page 3 Van Zoonen:






Page 3 is a widely known feature of the British newspaper The Sun had typically had a nude upper body woman which the tabloid always had as a tradition for a long time but as modern times have arises it has been a controversial topic but has now since been stopped.During its run it was very popular with  readers most likely to be male shows the affect of Van Zoonens Feminist Theory how that womens body are just represented as objects since they are just thrown into the newspaper clearly for mens sexual pleasure and nothing else, it just shows how men are at the top and women are just objects which is a patriarchal culture so it appeals directly to men.








The Walking dead Gerbner:






Walking dead is a massive popular tv show which has the basic premise of killing zombies to survive and being wary of the living.The show has lead to easily develop the 'mean world syndrome'
the show has been running around 8 years and has still on going it glorifies violence and gore and killing which could be a contributor for gun killings within america since the show is one of the most popular in the world.The main thing is that you cant trust anybody which shows the modern message about trust and how it can be easily related to real life since its a life lesson to extent to be aware of that but this media product shows how the trust doesn't just hurt you emotionally bu tit can get you killed which is always a real life possibility.
