Written Task Idea

Topic:
Political and ideological influence of the media
"The true impact the media has on our lives"
Subject: The dangers of the media publicizing drinking
Text Type: Opinion Editorial
Audience: Readers of the BBC in the "Health" sections since I will also be talking about the dangers of drinking.
Purpose: Inform families and criticize the advertisements
Title: Is Drinking Actually That Fun?
Rationale:

I want to write about how drinking companies glamorize their drinks making them look as if one would have a better time while drinking, when actually it is not true. Also I want to criticize them for not including that under-age selling of these is illegal, so they make it look like people under 18 can buy drinks.

  1. Good job on this Patrick. I know that you are now researching the publication/online website that you wish to publish this article in. This is important as, now that you have your primary source clearly identified (the drink adverts), you need to study the in-house style of the particular publication so that you can reflect their approach (bias, language chioces and syntax) within you piece.
