Media is the world of beauty seekers and creators. Constance Esther Charles takes the audience into the effects of the media world. She interviews the people of New York to seek out the answers to questions about how the media has influenced people and their takes on beauty versus the media. It is an amusing piece to listen to. I think it’s important she interviewed men and women on the media because it’s more than women that become influenced by the media. I wish more of the men would’ve talked about how the media effects how they see themselves. I enjoyed the humor of the piece. The answered ranged from inspiring to hilarious. The piece came together very well and is able to hook an audience. If you want a laugh and some good advice this is the piece for you.
When I see a title like this it’s a piece I have to jump on, the media’s portrayal of a “beautiful” person is always a great topic to always pursue. Youth Mic reporters, Constance, Esther and Charles have created a piece that brings you to the streets of New York to hear the varied responses of the public when questioned on the impact of the media on the image of “beauty.” The piece could use more background noise behind the narrations and I would appreciate introductions every time the narrators cut in to introduce the next series of answers. It is easy to miss the new questions and just assume that the narrators are the public. However this piece is already complete in form and content, volume levels between all the interviews are expertly mixed. “How The Media Portrays Beauty” ends with a conclusion I would not have expected, listen all the way through for a new twist on the standard reaction. Answers are diverse in reason and a joy to listen to. “Beauty is elegance,” beauty is “swagger,” beauty is “whatever I think it is.”
Listen to this piece for any show connected to self-esteem or the media.
