Feminists believe that media output comes from a patriarchal order and that the output is aimed at disempowering women, a female theorist called Laura Mulvey had a theory on the male gaze were she argued that the male gaze took precedence over the female gaze she also says that actresses appear as eye candy to appease the male gaze . While media is a patriarchal society Mulvey also argued that media was created by men for men. Mulvey also argued that the idea of a female movie star would see the star looked at as an object rather than a person.
Cohen's Moral Panic
Stanley Cohen believed that a condition,person,episode or group of people that emerged as a threat to society's values and interests created moral panic, in the media the nature of moral panic would be portrayed in a stylised and stereotypical fashion and moral barricades are controlled by people such as editors and politicians.
However there are the people who feel a threat to society who will begin the moral panic, these people are "moral entrepreneurs" they seek to inflence but there are also the people who threaten social order who are called "folk devils" they are the subject of campaigns of hostility through the use of gossip.
