All the two's - Web 2.0 and Media Studies 2.0
Very simply put, Web 2.0 is the web as we know it today. Where web pages are not just static delivers of information in a still form, like a document but just on line.
Web 2.0 allows users not just to retrieve information but can now comment, allows the posting of pictures, graphics and video. Combine this with it allowing users to interact and join with each other, we have a system which can be used to display and share user generated content in a virtual world. Web 2.0 allows users to contribute, to be part of.
Examples of Web 2.0 include Facebook and Twitter, all blogging, YouTube ad other video sharing sites, FlickR, slideshare etc.
Media Studies 2.0 is an article by David Gautlett, says that the study of Media has changed or needs to change and should be more about the everyday meanings produced from a variety of audience members, that the texts we study should be joined by the user generated content found on YouTube and other DIY media, a recognition that the internet has fundamentally changed the way we engage with all media, that students already know how to read media, recognise the importance and influence of widespread and participation.

Why is this important?
Representation of women
Critics of the prevalent portrayals of
women in the mass media observe possible negative consequences for various
segments of the population, such as:
•
Women of average or normal
appearance feeling inadequate or less beautiful in comparison to the
overwhelming use of extraordinarily attractive women.
•
Unrealistic expectations by men
of how women should look or behave.
•
Stereotyping of women who are
positively portrayed by or sexualized in the media, such as the theme of a "dumb
blonde" or "blonde bimbo", limiting the societal and
career opportunities for people who fit these stereotypes.
•
Psychological disorders such as
body dysmorphic disorder, anorexia,
bulimia
and so on.
•
The excessively coercive nature
of appeal to strong sexual instincts to sell products or promote media.
•
Increase in the likelihood and
acceptance of sexual violence
