Industry Work - Lesson 1

Find examples from your historical magazine (Woman's Realm) that support (or challenge) the view that variety, creativity and quality are limited.
- one example from the cover of Woman's Realm that supports the idea that variety, creativity and quality are limited by the narrow range of magazine distributors during the time period, can be found in the cover lines of the edition. These cover lines feature many traditional ideologies surrounding gender for example, motherhood, fashion and beauty and perpetuate many narrow and stereotypical ideals of feminine beauty. In the cover, one of the cover lines state 'wonderful children's raincoats' which links to the ideology surrounding motherhood. In the close up we can see the woman wearing quite fashionable clothing  at the time which links to fashion. In the contents page one cover line addresses beauty and provides the audience with a product called 'bottled beauty' which links to the ideologies of beauty. In the 'bottled beauty' advert the different headings used link to the view that Woman's realm supporting the idea that variety, creativity and quality is limited.

Find examples from your contemporary non-mainstream magazine that support the view that its ownership allows for more varied and adventurous content.
- One example from the cover of Huck that supports the idea that the publication's ownership allows for more varied and adventurous content can be found in the cover page. The title 'female fighters' and the quote 'We live in a world where women are dominated by men. We are here to take control of our future'. This supports the idea that a non-mainstream magazine supports the view for more varied and adventurous content because more mainstream magazines wouldn't put forward these articles. The article about 'Teenage Utopia: Skating Through the Lockdown' supports this view as it's an article and an story not usually put forward by mainstream media outlets. Also, the Ocalan's Angels article provides adventurous content for Huck's target audience and for everyone in general. These headlines and articles don't usually gain a lot of attention which is one of the main reasons that mainstream media outlets don't promote articles like this. The article tackles the idea of what is driving young Kurdish women to take up arms against ISIS. The title states 'On the frontline with the Kurdish female fighters beating back ISIS'
