Progress so far.....

I recently changed my investigation from an investigation into the relationship between high profile court cases in the press to An investigation intro how advertising affects young women's perception of body image. At the moment I am just searching for various articles online relating to this topic.


So far I have found one article which outlines the message being given to women of today through advertising and research carried out on advertising's impact on women. This research was found on a website called Bella Woman and was extremely useful in helping me to gain various views and what people think about the relationship between women and advertising and the impact it has on them.

I have also found a Study called The Elastic Body Image: The Effect of Television Advertising and Programming on Body Image Distortions in Young Women. Conducted by Phillip N myers and Frank A Biocca at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This was found on www.questia.com/reader/action/open/96471160 the research study found that after only thirty minutes of watching television programmes and advertising a woman's perception of the shape of her body can be altered. This experiment is extremely useful for the topic of my critical research.
