Proposal

How celebrity fathers are represented in the media.

I am going to investigate how celebrity fathers are represented in the media using a range of sources. My investigation will mainly be about David Beckham and Peter Andre because these celebrities are represented quite positively in the media but I will also discuss some celebrity fathers who are represented negatively in the media.  I think the sources I am going to choose are; a reality TV shows an autobiography, a magazine interview, a media book and maybe Peter Andre’s online channel. The reasons I have chosen to discuss this is question are I think this is quite an interesting topic to discuss and recently there has been a lot in the media about celebrity fathers. I would like to look into whether a celebrity father who is a lone parent such as Peter Andre is just as effective as a celebrity father who is still part of the ‘perfect’ nuclear family; David Beckham in the eyes of media.
