"TV gossip gurus are every woman's gay best friend", by Amanda Meade.
Quick comment
Meade recognises the increasing "gossip gurus", in the Australian media industry . She emphasises that women are drawn to television programs with gay icons an they can relate to them. This is due to the fact that they gossip in the same way that females do but also have the appealing qualitites of a man. Therefore, they get the best of both worlds which evidently promotes the image of having a "gay best friend".
Concepts from my course work that inform my perspective on this item
Symbols- icons: This icon of the TV "gossip gurus" allows the viewer to identify a an appealing visual image in the news presenting world hence, a symbol for the acceptance of gay presenters.
