Can be used in my study as the f.a., and all other boards adveritising womens football have to take into account their audiences profile, to attract them in the best way possible.

BBC- British Broadcasting corporation. This is a key institution to take note of in my independent study as they aired the womens world cup-China 2007.

Campaign- Organised range of activities and texts, by groups seeking to persuade or influence public opinion, delievered by the mass media. Useful keyword to research as there as likely to be campaigns for the progression of womens sports.

Lads Mag- Lifestyle magazine targeted at youngment. Useful to use in study, very popular, and often thought to be patriarchal preaching magazine.
