One article from CNN news (http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/07/29/uk.manhunt/index.html) will be one of my texts as it says Video games have influenced a young teenage boy to murder a 14 year old boy.
For my other text I will use Nip/Tuck, this program promotes fake beauty and representational beauty on the audience. This promotes fake beauty and fake natural. This also shows the issues surrounding this topic.
4: Why have you chosen these texts?
I have chosen the newsreels as one of my texts because it shows a lot of real life debates suurounding knife crimes, gangs, fake beauty etc. It shows the controversy of different topics and either blows them up out of proportion or changes the views, this will be goof for my linked production.
I have also chosen Nip/Tuck as the other text because it shows audiences that its okay to alter your body to make it look perfect; that natural beauty is not acceptable any more. As it is rated to 18+ its showing the audience that they will need plastic surgery to look beautiful and need to lead the lifestyle they lead which shows controversy against nature,

6: What are the issues and debates surrounding these two texts?
Both texts are main issues in today's society, in how much they can influence the audience (and most of the audience is teenagers). As media is becoming the main "teacher" of teenagers they are more likely to be influenced by it and more likely to do it. Media can brainwash teenagers and manipulate them into thinking something different. As teenagers are still learning Media texts take this opportunity to brainwash children/teenagers what to think. The main issue surrounding the news are different all the time, this is why this text is good to analyse. We can see how the media effects the world through the news.
The main issues surrounding Nip/Tuck is that it is criticized by Parents Television Council. Many episodes have been threatened to be cut of because of some of the things shown to the audience. As the program tries to show some issues surrounding plastic surgeons and their patients; some are done to an extreme which makes it become very unacceptable to some channels.
7: State why you believe the 2 texts fit the 'contemporary media landscape'.
The 2 texts fit the contemparary media landscape because there are lots of issues and debates surrounding these programmes. Violence in todays society is the worst thing teenagers are blamed for and also beauty is a controversial issue towards teenagers. News is seen as a vital thing as is used everyday with rea day events.
8: Discuss the reason this topic area resonates so deeply with you?
The topic area resonates so deeply with me because its the main issues in todays society and personal issues. In magazine and every news report, teenagers are shown to be worse each year, with violence rising, teenagers dying and more plastic surgeries being popular its damaging society. These issues should be shown in a different light and made better instead of making the audience more influenced by the media today.
