I'm sure she will have had with the many, many Bollywood fans particularly from the Asian community.
I’m talking about her profile in the UK, she had none. I doubt she had featured in ANY mainstream media at all.
What is YOUR opinion of mainstream media? White, middle class?
More people, world wide, had probably heard of Shilpa Shetty than Jade Goody.
Well until now I thought mainstream media (in this case, in the UK) was a relatively easy concept to understand
OK here’s what you need to do - next time you’re in Tesco have a wee look for the big sign which says ‘books and magazines’, what you’ll find there is known as mainstream media – i.e. mass circulation newspapers and magazines. There are also TV and radio channels (what you’re looking out for is names such as BBC, ITV and Sky); these also come under the umbrella of mainstream media (in summation, anything which has been expressly designed to appeal to a large audience)
Oh, gee. I didn't realise that the world was based on what's available in Tesco. I happen to view the world in a more global way.
Still not quite getting it, eh. Tesco just happens to be one outlet where examples of mainstream media can be found, and YOU asked ME what my ‘opinion’ of mainstream media in the UK was - it's not about ‘opinion’, it’s a term which is widely used to denote.
No where in any of my posts did I ask about mainstream media IN THE UK. If you want to believe the world begins and ends in the UK, so be it.
