(In Touch)
When I evaluated the magazines at the checkout counter. I did approve of most of them. I saw a lot of different types of images. For example, movies stars, music stars, reality TV stars, sport stars, models, and political figures. In my opinion most of the images was realistic to a certain degree. For example the people on magazines covers look happy and successful. Now we know that they are successful because they are on the cover. On the other hand, just because they look happy doesn’t mean that they are. Looks can be very deceiving!
The headlines I saw was about success stories, relationships drama, gossip, and Celebrity battles or competitions. I think headlines can be positive and negative. It could depend on how you receive it. Different people have different morals, beliefs, and views. The headlines could be putting out a positive message out hypothetically, like a famous person surviving cancer. Then on the other hand the headline could be putting out a negative message, like a celebrity court for a DWI.
I think diversity is represented in magazines, but there are more that cater to white people. I don’t think this is racialism. It is a fact that white people are the majority in this country. It just is what it is. So logically that makes sense to me. I think the balance between whether or not gossip is true or not is very thin. For example a picture can be perceived in a lot of different ways. Something might not necessary be true but the picture could make the message more believable.
Women and men are presented in a lot of different ways in magazines. Women are very sexy, classes, and presentable. It is rare that women appear on covers that don’t have none of the quality that I listed
