, 1. INTRODUCTION
This assignment will be discussed under the following themes: Media policy and
regulation, and representation. The nature of media and communications policy will look
at the three phases of paradigms in communication policy. Representation will be
defined, and an advertisement will be selected and linked to semiotics. The concept of
myth as per Roland Barthes and the notion of anchorage and how the polysemic
meaning is explained in the selected advert will be elaborated. Information in relation to
the music video will be provided, such as the title, name of the artist, source, and lyrics
of the selected video. Additionally, an essay will communicate, discuss, and elaborate
information based on gender and the media. Gender will be defined, and an
understanding of femininity and masculinity as binary opposites will be discussed in the
essay. A critical discussion of the power of the media, hegemony, stereotypes of how
men and women are represented in the media, men as dominant and females as
conventional will be elaborated, and examples provided. Furthermore, the essay will
focus on gender and popular music which will then be linked with the chosen music
video. Lastly a Reflection on my own experience of watching the music video as well as
how "express female sexual interest in men" and women are "asserting her rights" will
be explained.
