The Baltimore Sun

The Baltimore Sun has been around for many of years and has entered into many of homes throughout the years. Before internet became so popular today our elders depended on the newspapers and if they didn't tune into the news to see what was going on around the world and their communities. Stories that the Baltimore Sun issued was from crime in the areas, employment, the funnies for the children, weather and some media so it pretty much covered everything we depend on the internet for now days. The audience of this newspaper is our grandparents and parents but this News Paper also captured some young people from the ages 20-30. I was one of them kids that had to walk to the corner store for my granny to get The Baltimore Sun whether it was hot or cold lol she didn't care that’s before they start delivering so i had no choice to be a part of the movement of reading a newspapers at the age 10 like many other children in the community. The Baltimore Sun use to cost fifty cents but today it’s like dollar and fifty cents what a big difference. i want to think that newspapers will survive not just the Baltimore sun but with the internet taking over i don't think it will so like it’s pointless of a newspaper because of technology has made our American citizens lazy they don't have to read much. I do think it’s unfair to people that does get and actually reads the News Paper because a lot of older people is not computer literate so why take away their enjoyment that’s been around. If newspapers are fading that takes been back to the cost they should and need to lower the price back down. People purchase Newspapers for many different  when the hot sticky summer approach people you it to eat their crabs that’s really a tradition lol, also newspapers has come in handy for many school projects and around the holidays mainly Halloween so Newspapers does play a big role of our lives i don't think they should stop making Newspapers. What happens if the internet shut down worldwide? People would be lost and in a up roar just like the people that are used to reading the newspaper. i have nothing against the internet at all because i do enjoy using it but really its making us lazy we are not exercising the brain we not reading as much as we should. so the newspaper does provide a lot.

Magazines

Magazines are a part of the medias way of  telling stories about people, or stories about things that happen around the world. The images that I see on magazines are those of celebrities. The images are good but often times they are bad. Sometimes they seem realistic, but sometimes they dont because the magazine writers often exagerate the idea of celebrities. The headlines can destroy the image of these people. Not often do you see a magazine where celebrites are congradulated for doing the right things. Soon as they do something bad or anything bad happens the whole world begins to know about it. These headlines can be positive at times but I believe they are mainly negative. Yes I believe diversity is represented because all celebrities are exposed for different things. However, its not just celebrities; everyone and everything is being exposed in these magazines. The balance between gossip and reality is not really equal. In magazines there is way more gossip than reality. Women are presented with all the bad images. I say this because whenever a woman does something wrong it's everywhere. Not only is it everywhere but their stories are also molded into something that in the begining it wasnt. Women are often times stereotyped because its ok for men to do things but when a woman does it, it's a problem. Men always seem to get the easy way out of things. I don't believe there is much diversity in the images because of the stereotype on women. The magazine that stands out to me is Ebony because to me it gives women courage and it really doesnt talk bad about the celebrities. Yes I want to buy them because they can be encouraging and they sometimes seem very hopeful. On the inside I see stories and headlines about African Americans. The stories draw me in because it often takes away that stereotype of women. The advertising is pretty good; not too shabby. In my opinion I believe this is what people want because noone wants to see all the bad stuff about celebrities, they want to see when someone is doing something good.
