'The Street'

Sexuality:

The main character is a married man with 2 kids. he works for a demolition company and goes to the gym, goes to the pub with his work mates. when he shares a room with another man, one man makes a move on him, and he is so shocked that he trys to change rooms. then the man trys again and they end up having gay sex. this is completely against the normal stereotype of a gay man, because he is very masculine, he has a deep voice, stubble, works hard, goes to the gym, all the things you wouldnt normally expect a gay person to be like.

Media questions

1. Why did IPC Media have cause to be optimistic about their business prospects in 2006?

there were lots of big events happening that they would cover, that people would want to know about.
2. According to the article in THE GUARDIAN (Jan 2009) why are the major players in the British magazine industry better placed to weather the economic crisis?
larger publishing houses in the business-to-business and consumer sectors will be looking increasingly dominant, while smaller, weaker titles will wither under the strain of the downturn.
