Mediation


Mediation is when we encounter media text, but we are not see in reality, but someone else's version of it.
the media place us at one renove from reality: they take something that is real and put it into their own version.

The Sun

The stories on the sun website are quite negative and portray women as a sex symbol, as shown in this link to The Sun newspaper:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/4576711/Mila-Kunis-topless-picture-as-Esquire-crowns-her-sexiest-woman-alive.html
The sun tends to target woman almost in a sexist was making women look bad or making the out to be ones who moan or brag about things for example the latest story about Cheryl Cole hating Simon Cowl in this link:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/4576432/cheryl-cole-simon-cowell-was-an-arrogant-gutless-coward-for-sacking-me.html
it seems that the sun will make women look less than men showing men have more power than women, even though there are still negative things about men there is more headlines to do with women making front line news in this paper, but there are some positive parts in the newspaper about women but more negative than positives making front-page news.



The Mirror

The Mirror does not have a lot about women but the bits that it does consist on about women is still negative. Again the same as The Sun newspaper also is showing Mila Kunis topless portraying women as sex symbols in the link: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/mila-kunis-topless-and-naked-in-esquire-1366201
The paper seems to try and find anything to moan about that women do wrong for example they are mentioning the typical stereotype that women drivers are bad just because this one celeb made a mistake like everyone does once in a while but because its a women its just that bit more of a big deal to make a fuss over : http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/helen-flanagans-got-new-hair-and-is-bad-1364068


The Daily Mail


The Daily Mail is more to the point of making news rather than just digging at celebrities it targets the public more than celebrities. it shows that not do men commit crimes but women can do worse and get away with it : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2214081/Romanian-fraudster-helped-steal-10m-benefits-allowed-stay-Britain-protect-human-rights.html
This paper doesn't seem to just dig at women it evens the negativity on men and women not just one gender.
