The Britney Effect: The Rise and Fall of Hysterical Women in Media

Can You Hear Us Now: Inclusivity in the Media

In the past twenty years, we have seen a revolution of mass media in the United States. People used to only see celebrities on screens, on stage, or maybe at an award show. Today, fans are able to track every move of their favorite celebrities, and subsequently criticize every move. While the media has always discussed an actress's appearance or who she is dating, this new level of access has put the lives of female celebrities under a microscope. In this episode, we will meet with Professor Jules Dixon, a former PR practitioner who has worked with numerous high-profile celebrities. In our discussion, we hope to shed some light on the reality of being a female celebrity in the digital age, and how PR professionals are adapting to this change.
