A Message for the Media: Young Women Talk
This collection of 21 powerful and stimulating essays, written by young women aged 13-22, provides first-rate material for discussions about the impact of the media on young people.
The pieces cover a wide range of topics, including soap operas, religion, music, magazines, vegetarianism and films. The writing is articulate, persuasive and thought-provoking, tackling head-on issues which have been subsumed into hidden agendas – eg. the treatment of bullying in teenage soap operas – or about which readers may simply have insufficient information –eg. women in Islam.
I would strongly recommend this book as a purchase for a Media Studies GCSE course or as essential reading in a school or college library.
