I strongly believe that every student that read Crain’s becomes a business-minded and extremely competitive on the Chicago job market during the job search. The reasons why business students…

Canadian magazine editions earn advertising revenue from companies in Canada (p. 185). In general, US magazines are in a much better financial position. The Canadian government addressed the issue of unfair advantage by (a) passing Bill C-58. Advertising expenses of Canadian firms would not qualify for tax deductions unless those firms had advertised in Canadian-owned and Canadian-based publications (p. 185). (b) passing Customs Tariff Code 9958. This was a law passed against "split-run"…

Magazine Manipulation In 2007, Photographer Allan Detrich resigned from his job due to claims that he heavily photoshopped his images. “Should images in Magazines that have been manipulated be required to have a label?” Yes, altered images published in any sort of media in any way or form should be required to have a label. Many people, especially girls, can be discouraged in seeing false body standards, and people can get anorexia, causing exceedingly low body weight, which is life threatening…

the front cover of an issue of ‘The Suffragette’, a magazine produced by the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU), and edited by the Suffragette Christabel Pankhurst. This issue of the magazine was produced on the 13th June 1913. From my own knowledge, I know this was a fairly popular magazine, as it came out weekly, and there were about 17,000 issues in circulation each week. I also know that the Home Office tried to suppress the magazine, but as it was so popular, they only managed to…

Through exploring ‘Women’s Health Magazine’ covers I encountered two narratives that communicated how women accomplish health. The magazine covers presented bellow were the cultural artifacts, or texts, used in my content analysis research (van den Hoonaard, 2014: 121). Using an unobtrusive method, I considered these artifacts on two levels: manifest content (easily observable content) and latent content (the implicit meaning in the content) (van den Hoonaard, 2014: 121). The first narrative…

While race and specifically the underrepresentation of Black women in mainstream magazines have been thoroughly examined, previous scholars examining representations of race in media have largely ignored hair type of Black women. Investigating the representation of this aspect of Black women’s culture in different media is important because hair type preferences and hierarchies in the Black community have existed since the abolishment of slavery (Byrd & Tharps, 2001). The good hair refers to…

On the cover of a teenage girl magazine, there is a beautiful, thin model with perfect teeth and perfect hair. Usually there is a quote from the model where she expresses how she has never been as confident as she is now, and how she loves herself especially with the use of a certain product. It goes on with the model advertising an expensive product. Advertisements tend to bend the truth to make the viewer feel as if they really need their product to be successful in whatever they want to…

Sexism in Magazines. With magazines now mimicking music and television by objectifying women, it is becoming typical to see nude or topless women inside or on the cover of magazines. For most people, when they think thing of sexism in magazines, Playboy comes to mind. Playboy is a men’s entertainment magazine, renowned for its display on scantily-clad women. Although this objectification of women is merely “light-hearted” entertainment for men, it should be taken so lightly. The Des Moines…

Metamorphosis of the Magazine Over the course of history, many advancements have changed the way the world consumes mass media. From the early newspapers to modern social media giants, the public sphere is forever versatile in the means in which they obtain information. However, the addition of a new form of mass media does not mean the former means become entirely antiquated. Rather, mass medias evolve. One example of a mass medium which has evolved though out its existence in the magazine.…
