Representation - newspaper

today we looked at how woman where portrayed in The Sun news paper compared to men in photos. we did this by a watching a video that showed us how differently women are portrayed in The Sun news paper compared to men. this experiment collects The Sun newspaper for 6 months and cut out all the images of men and women and stick them on a wall, men on 1 side and women on the other, to see the difference between each side of the wall.

Here is the  video which shows how differently The Sun portrays women in their newspaper compared to the men.

This video shows that women are usually presented modeling or posing to look good where as men look like they are doing an action that you would do in every day life making their photos look more realistic where as the women look unrealistic. The sun is also known for being a sports based newspaper. however in 6 months they didn't include a single picture of a female doing sport. So the sun are objectifying women in their pictures. Which I believe is a big case of media sexism.
