Our focus for the topic of “gender and media” will be to expand on current sections posted to Wikipedia, and create new ones. Of the current sections we want to expand on both magazines and TV shows, and add a new section specifically of music videos. After reviewing the entire website and included sections, these are the sections that we believe need the most additional and updated information for the overall success of the “gender and media” page.

Of the current magazine section, we want to expand on magazines such as Sport’s Illustrated, Playboy and Victoria Secret. Both Mariah and I thought our in-class discussion about the Victoria Secret magazines was so powerful, and believe that should be brought to the attention of the web page users. We will be looking into research to backup and support these claims.

Our second focus will be on TV shows, to include more current shows that show women as both leaders, and as objects. These shows will include and not be limited to Scandal, Gilmore Girls and The Bachelor/Bachelorette. We believe that these shows will showcase a wide variety of empowerment and independence of the “expected role of women from society” and also explore the often objectification of roles played by females.

Lastly, we want to create a new section dedicated to music videos. Both Mariah and I think that music videos, of many genres, will be important to discuss. Just from class alone this semester we have seen multiple examples of the negative role of women in music videos. We want to make this a new section because we think it is important enough to discuss, and will have plenty of evidence to show support.

Overall, we want to “clean up” the article with correct grammar, spelling and punctuation. If possible, we would like to condense/combine some of the sections that are currently in the article.
