"Leading Authority on American Studies to Discuss Media Impact on Body Image." The Washington Post 9 Oct. 1997. 23 Jan. 2007 http://www.whitman.edu/ news/News96-97/sdouglas.html.
This was an article announcing that Susan Douglas, a "leading authority on American studies, pop culture, and media" was to give a speech on "How Mass Media Effects Women's Body Image". It contained a few small facts key to my topic. It suggested that the media can send mixed messages. Also that "the media urges women to be... cute, thin, pore-less, wrinkle free..."
I agree and believe it is necessary to be blunt about the topic, like this article was.
