The article that has been included focuses on how the media tends to not include coverage of female politicians. Women are included in different kinds of media, however this is usually in a negative context. They are sexualized, stereotyped […]

After reading several of my classmate’s blogs, I have come across three that I agree with and have chosen to review. In my blog I had said that culture jamming was an effective way for people to receive everyday news while including some comic relief. My opinion has expanded after reading other students entries.
