The Juventus Superstar is facing major issues as a night in a Las Vegas Hotel room could cost him 350 million as he could be sued for rape.

Ronaldo is being accused of possibly raping and attempting to buy out the silence of a teacher that has been allegedly raped by Ronaldo. The report has arose recently while the alleged rape took place in 2009. The claims were published first by a German magazine company. He had temporarily bought "Miss Mayorga [silence and] says Ronaldo’s lawyers purchased her silence in 2010 with a £288,000 out-of-court settlement, something she now regrets."  This story is a piece of hard news.

This article focuses on the recent takeover that has occurred between Comcast and Sky. Comcast recently bought the rights to Sky for a cost of more than £30 billion, and actually outbid Rupert Murdoch. The main concern that is raised in the article is the idea of who is going to cover the costs that have arisen as a result of the huge bid. 

 I believe that this article would be of particular interest to Sky customers around the world - especially in Europe. This is because this article would act as a form of surveillance for them to gain more info as to what has happened with this provider, and start to consider how they may be affected by it in the future.

This is also in line with the fox and Disney merger as sky is in the fox brand also.

This is Hard news.

If you can't access David Gauntlett's website, the text is  also available here . 1) What examples does Gauntlett provide of the "decline of tradition"? How can we link our advertising CSPs (Score hair cream and Maybelline 'That Boss Life') to this idea? Examples of a decline of masculinity that Gauntlett described were:  Role models Masculinity possibly in crisis The diversity of sexualities Gender trouble 2) How does Gauntlett suggest the media influences the way we construct our own identities? Gauntlett suggests that as people it is normal for us to construct our identities through what we see from our parents, as well as on social media. Another factor that we may use to construct id

Score Advert and Wider Reading (NC)

Score hair cream advert Answer the following questions to ensure you have a comprehensive textual analysis of the Score hair cream advert: 1)  What year was the advert produced and why is the historical context important? This advert was made in the 1960s. This is important in terms of context due to the fact that around this time women were standing up for their rights in order to achieve equality more than they had at that point in time. This is a clear link to the Score hair cream advert as is it evidently sexist. 2) Analyse the mise-en-scene in the advert (CLAMPS): how is costume, make-up and placement of models constructed to show male dominance? Costume The costumes of the models display dominance due to the fact that the women have minimal clothing clothing on, meaning that we are able to see a lot of skin, whereas with the man, who is the main interest in the advert, only has his arms showing, which presents this idea of dominance and strength compared to the women as well as
