Magazines

 


How young people see themselves has a lot to do with how the media represent them.
What magazines does your school library media center subscribe to? 
Do these publications tell students everything they need to know? Do they deal with stereotypes,
body image, product placement? Is the content of the magazine influencedby the advertisers?
These are just some issues to consider as you begin to study magazines and media literacy.
