Entry2

I how have One Method and 2 sources:
My method is an article from the internet, where I found two different articles.
1st Source:
Date- 2007
Author- Author of mediaed.org.uk
Reliability- My method of information is reliable becuase it gives me information about the different things that are mostly advertised targeted at women and the ways that advertisers go about reaching out to young women. It can be seen as unrealiable becuase it talks about advertising to both women and men which is not the focus of my study. So i will have to eliminate the information about men and leave it only relevant to the study of advertisment effects on women.
Appropriate information- The information that i have is appropriate becuase it will allow me to begin exploring the different advertising targeted at women.

Each source is useful because it allows me to inform myself on the different types of advertising advertisers use in magazines.

Sources:

1. Media Affects on Self-image of Women

2. Social Communication in ADvertising

Entry 1 Question

How does the fashion industry target young women through advertising in fashion magazines?

I arrived at my question becasue I am interested in researching advertising and how women are targeted through advertising. I then needed to find a source in which to base it on so i choose fashion magazines.

My initial steps for research have been reaearching the main magazines that feature advertisments targeted at young wommen and reearching popular adverts that would appear in magazines.

I have already practiced making a mock questionnaire.
