Content: This not only inaccurately represents the diversity of women’s lives, roles and experiences, women’s contributions to the socio-political and economic development of society are often neglected. The perpetuation of stereotypes in images and representation solidifies women’s traditional roles and unequal gender relations in multiple ways. There are many more examples, such as women’s portrayals in an increasingly consumer-driven culture and the commodification of women’s bodies in advertising, pornography and conflict situations. Such stereotypical and controversial media content widen the gender disparity. That might be the reason todays educated bunch of feminist prefer alternative media to advocate their rights and social identity. Media and power division: The information rich have good access to information — especially online, but also through more traditional media such as newspapers, radio, television, and books — and can plan their lives and react to changes in circumstances on the basis of what they know or can find out. The information poor don’t have such access and are vulnerable to all kinds of pressures. Though the information rich are mainly in the industrialized countries and the information poor are mostly in the developing world, similar splits are obvious between prosperous and disadvantaged groups inside industrialized countries. As a consequence information rich people will enjoy more privileges and power.
