Overview
For this post, I'd like you to reflect on the documentary Framing Britney Spears (the link to watch the documentary is below).
In at least 250 words (please include a word count), address the following questions:
- How did the media cover Spears during the late 1990s/early 2000s, and what does this documentary suggest about this coverage? Why is the film critical of how she was portrayed?
- What surprised/intrigued you about this story? Why might feminist media studies scholars be interested in this topic?
- Provide and reflect on a contemporary example of gendered media/news coverage--how have things changed? (Or have they?)
