The Art of Fame.
It's no secret that the media has an unrestrained control over the public. It's designed as an outlet for various sources to cover all aspects of our culture from social to political. Somewhere in the middle falls celebrity gossip, exploitation of public figures and stigmas associated with individuality. The Art of Fame narrows the focus down to women imaging in the media. How much of a role does being a woman play into the possibility of being exploited in the media? There's an 'art' to this thing called fame that comes accompanied with media-exploitation; but it seems as though women fall victim to being exploited far more than men. By using the media's attention and directing control towards aspects of their career and lives they want to offer up---women in the media are able to contend the idea of gender-identity roles and stick up for themselves. The Art of Fame takes an in-depth look into the media to reveal the secrets, statistics and facts behind women imaging in the media. Are women being exploited by the media? Or is the media being exploited by women?
