Media Influence

Newspapers often highlight subjects that refer to celebrity culture and is influenced due to media attention. As a result of this individuals can become obsessed with the lifestyle or strive to be like a certain celebrity. For instance, we currently live in a society were we become increasingly interested in reality television shows such as X Factor, Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and Only Way Is Essex. Due to the media showcasing such lifestyles and exposing society to glamorized images means that the public may want to follow in celebrities footsteps.

Negative influences include the media presenting the public, in particular teenagers, with the ideal body image. Gossip magazines consistently put forward celebrity diets and exercise regimes which would have a profound effect on an adolescents self image. To conclude, the mass media have a deep influence on society.
