Purpose of Media Media is the means of communicating news and information to the public
via printed and visual media. In contemporary society media is an
essential way to advertise a product to its target audience, as it be
seen by a wider range of people and it's more reliable as you are
guaranteed the audience will be able to view it. Printed media can be
seen in leaflets and brochures since it is used to inform the audience
of a certain product by using more detailed information than visual
media. Furthermore, printed media can also be seen in newspapers such
as broadsheets and tabloids where they inform the readers of
information and gossip (in tabloids) around the world. I will be
comparing the Club 18-30, Superfamily and Forever Young brochures for
the technique used to identify and attracted their targeted audiences.
The Club 18-30 brochure appears to be aimed towards a younger and more
outgoing audience who are partygoers. This can be seen through its
choice of layout and organization. Although its layout might appear
bland and tedious to the older and less influential generation, it
actually provides the younger generation with all the qualities needed
in a good club brochure. The layout and organization can also be seen
to be enticing as it engages the younger audience because of its
simplistic form.
However through the choice of layout and organization of the
Superfamily brochure the audience immediately realise that the
brochure's target audience is families with young children as shown by
the childish qualities of the presented...

available to the people on holiday. The simple sentence 'Quite simple
it has something for everyone' empathises with the audience and their
needs, at the same time as informing the audience of the quality of
the holiday.
Through my analysis of the three brochures and their use of
presentational and linguistic devices they can be seen to have engaged
their targeted audiences effectively; as the brochures employ the use
of formal, informal and emotive language to entice their targeted
audience to the holidays the brochures are advertising. Furthermore, I
can clearly announce that the brochures have achieved their
fundamental purpose, as I have identified their targeted audience and
empathised with them to get a clear understanding of the brochures are
trying to convey.
Mass media is designed to reach large audiences through the use of technology. Its purpose is

In the late Seventies, America became shocked and outraged by the rape, mutilation, and murder of over a dozen young, beautiful girls. The man who committed these murders, Ted Bundy, was later apprehended and executed. During his detention in various penitentiaries, he was mentally probed and prodded by psychologist and psychoanalysts hoping to discover the root of his violent actions and sexual frustrations. Many theories arose in attempts to explain the motivational factors behind his murderous escapades. However, the strongest and most feasible of these theories came not from the psychologists, but from the man himself, "as a teenager, my buddies and I would all sneak around and watch porn. As I grew older, I became more and more interested and involved in it, [pornography] became an obsession. I got so involved in it, I wanted to incorporate [porn] into my life, but I couldn’t behave like that and maintain the success I had worked so hard for. I generated an alter-ego to fulfill my fantasies under-cover. Pornography was a means of unlocking the evil I had burried inside myself" (Leidholdt 47). Is it possible that pornography is acting as the key to unlocking the evil in more unstable minds?
The media can come in many forms. From social media, magazines to Television. Although there are fundamental differences the core purpose of all media is communication. Whether it be to inform, entertain or advertise.
Media can present content that seems and is more or less real, however, it is our duty as the viewers to be able to distinguish, and differentiate between “reflections of reality, and constructions of reality”. The prime targets of the media are young people because they so unwittingly believe everything the media tells them, from “how to talk, how to dress, and how to relate to others”. This newspaper article, seeing is not believing by Leslie Fruman is essentially explaining that now “for the first time students will take a mandatory course to help separate fantasy from reality in the media.” The mandatory course is referred to as media literacy, and will teach young people the classifications of reality and fantasy.

The media gives people information that is most often manipulative and often fallacious. What is the purpose of giving false information? Usually to sell you something, or make money off of you.

Stereotypes is a big issue within the media industry. Representation within the media is to show someone or something, using a process of depicting, descripting and symbolization. Stereotypes, as described by Stuart Hall, is the “production of the meaning of the concepts in our minds through language which enables us to refer to either the ‘real’ world of objects, people or events, or indeed to imaginary worlds of fictional objects, people and events”. In his research Hall has suggested that there is two systems of representation, the first system regarding direct associations of events, people and objects that have certain mental representations and concepts that people have in their minds. Meaning is therefore
