Blog Recommendations

These are my recommendations for classmates’ blogs.

This blog is about portrayals of women in media. The article (link provided) is interesting because it harshly criticizes a TV show and then is equally harshly criticized by a classmate’s comment below.

This blog deals with the impact of media on students. I recommend the article about Facebook; it is short but thought-provoking, because it provides research results that can be interpreted in various ways.

This is the blog about product placement, discussing e.g. cigarette smoking. The author presents the issue that concerns many.

This blog is particularly interesting because it deals with a very unusual topic of smoking’s negative impact being exaggerated by media. In addition to that, it effectively provides evidence to support the thesis.

This one deals with the body image and media. It offers some interesting information about the issue and carefully analyzes negative impact of media.

This blog is very similar to the previous one, discussing the topic of media and eating disorders and taking a very negative side of the issue.
