1. Find one example of the representation of a woman and say how she is represented.
There is a woman in the newspaper wearing lingerie and adverting the brand that sells the product. She represents advertisements for women to appeal to the women who might read their husband's newspaper to look at this advert and buy the companies clothes the newspaper would put this up so that they would get more readers but the women who would read this wouldn't actually be interested in the news that is going on but the product that is being advertised. The advertisement isn't the main picture or text that you see on the front page of the newspaper therefore it isn't the most important or interesting picture of the whole newspaper.
2. Find another contrasting example of a woman and say how she is represented
Another example is in the second magazine the queen, the photo that was taken of her isn't the best quality picture it has a dark background and she hasn't got the happiest face on. The magazine has captured a rare photo of the queen because if the queen would go out in pubic she would be smiling and happy were on this day her facial features are frowning and she is looking upset, therefore the readers of the newspaper would be shocked to see the queen so upset and sad. The queen is also the main focus in the newspaper title seeing her face the reason why she is so upset is that she is filled with guilt and sad as it took the queen so long to visit the village n was the tragedy happened and she knew that she should have gone earlier to support them.
