This session examined issues relating to media influence. Students were asked to consider the media issues and debates that relate to the images that surrounded my films when they were published in the music section of the online version of The Daily Star.

Class discussion considered the concept of HEGEMONY, MARXIST THEORY, PLURALISM, ISSUES RELATING TO OBJECTIFIED IMAGES OF WOMEN AND THE CONCEPT OF THE MALE GAZE, and whether the mainstream media have a moral obligation to avoid publishing such sexualised images. Class discussion also touched upon regulation and whether media could influence human behaviour. Students were asked to consider whether the sexualised nature of the content published by news institutions such as The Daily Star could be linked to the fact that the UK seems to have a big problem with domestic violence and crimes against women. The aim of the session was to discuss a whole range of media issues that were generated by The Daily Star publishing my films without my permission.
