A confession of sorts

Click here for a link to a Dallas Morning News columnist, writing about her own stereotyping and pre-fab storyline for a murder in McKinney. I wish I could say there was some introspection on her part, in terms of the hype that builds around these stories and how the media use such stories to make money. She is one of the reporters who worked on the "all-American girl" murders from our case study. Link to news story.

Two more links for Friday

Two links from Advertising Age:

Article by Pepper Miller: Is Black Back? African American's Preferences for "Black" vs. "African American"
http://adage.com/bigtent/article?article_id=120429&search_phrase=Is+black+back%3F

Column by Bob Garfield on Heineken Draftkeg's sexist commercial

Videos and web sites for class

Since we're talking tomorrow about pron (yes, I misspelled that on purpose, in case my mom checks this blog), here's a link to new pronographic fashions.

(Ravenstoke "documentary" for Axe)

From Axe:

(A campaign for Unilever’s Axe body spray and deodorant launched in spring of 2007 used a microsite, or a small product-based web site, to offer downloads of its Bom Chicka Wah Wah commercials, ringtones, and theme song.)

And from another brand from the same parent company:

More for Friday

In Deb Merskin's chapter on pornography and fashion advertising, she outlines four areas of "sexual referents" in fashion ads that have a relationship with pornographic coding: hierarchy, objectification, submission and violence. We'll discuss this chapter more on Friday, using your examples, along with discussion of chapters 8, 10, and 16.

Race and news reporting

Check out this story about a school shooter, and notice when race is mentioned and why. Do you think this was justified? Thanks, Marla, for the link; we'll talk about this in class on Friday.

Vocab test and other matters

We'll be turning our discussion to other media beyond news media, starting with this week. We will continue, however, talking about news media as coverage arises that fits our course interests.

Blog every week, on topics related to your reading assignment. For this Friday, that includes chapters 8 and 12 from the textbook.

Define these terms, to help you study for your vocabulary test on Friday:

What is the difference between ethnicity and race?

The brown sugar stereotype in advertising (chapter 17)

The lotus blossom stereotype in advertising (chapter 17)

See the Sept. 6 entry at lambiase4250.blogspot.com for more definitions, from our class discussion—those class notes will help you on the test.

What is media literacy or critical media consumption?

What is a case study?

What is content analysis?

What is interreality comparison and why is it important?

What is cultivation theory (p. 108 in textbook)?

What is a good definition of stereotyping? Be able to give some examples from the news media.

What is face-ism?
