Young female audiences more interested in more superficial issues – I believe that my chosen post supports this because fashion isn’t a political or cultural matter of any importance, it focuses on the reactionary issue about what you should wear to a festival.

Cultural issues – ‘ We didn’t want to be cliche (i.e., denim cut offs or crochet dresses) or offensive (i.e., all the cultural appropriation that happens at Coachella), which was actually pretty easy to accomplish.’ Not only do they discuss fashion they tried to incorporate radical issues such as cultural appropriate outfits. They try to inform girls on how to stay away from offensive outfits.

• Canadian Philosopher
• creator of the media theory
• “The medium is the message” is a phrase coined by the Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan and introduced in McLuhan’s book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, published in 1964. McLuhan proposes that a medium itself, not the content it carries, should be the focus of study.
• In his study McLuhan says that people change and adapt to the technology that’s around them, meaning that people around before 1440 when the printing press was introduced were more adapted to the auditory surroundings. This means that people currently are more focused on the most popular medium, that being a screen within our devices

“its marrying of the political with fashion and lifestyle” – my story is based around beauty and celebrity lifestyle, not politics. This confirms the fact that this is magazine was first based around fashion and beauty but evolved to be about politics.

“target a young female audience” – this story does target female audiences as its relates to beauty, however, boys too can be interested in makeup which is why this could be considered a radical text.

“other magazines (online) are struggling to maintain audiences” – This now an online magazine (since 2017). The story has multiple references to the online world like Selena’s “new album Rare”, ” The Tonight Show” tv program and “I Dream of Jeannie” another program.

“explicit feminist stance” – A woman wrote this article, in which she compliments Selena multiple times like “The star looked stunning.” This could be an example of women empowering women which can be considered a good feminist act.

Dominant ideology of women in the spotlight.

“Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate by the content of the communication” (p. 8: 1967)

• Canadian Philosopher
• July 21 1911 – December 31 1980 (age 79)
• Book – The medium is the message (1964), saying that it’s how the message is sent that is important rather than the message itself

Marshall McLuhan was a Canadian philosopher who proposed the theory called ‘the medium is the message’. The theory states that a medium itself, not the content it carries, should be the focus of study. He believes that the characteristics of the medium the message is passed through affects society, not the message itself. He used the phrase “We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us” to easily explain his theory.
