Actresses stage a walkout in France after Polanski win
date: 29.02.2020
- This story is an amalgamation of both soft and hard news, it covers the entertainment industry however is culturally relevant due it's connections with the #MeToo movement and current revolution against rape culture in the media industry. This story covers French actress/director Adele Haenel's walk out after Polanski, a convicted child rapist who fled to France in the 1970s, won the 'Best Director' award. This moment sparked riots throughout France as she said 'Bravo Pedophilia' and 'Shame' after the announcement and is a significant moment for the movement as it is the first time an action has been done to combat the film industry's reluctance to 'cancel' esteemed directors who are also sexual deviants.
- It is an extremely liberal piece that also follows the story of an educated, white female, which readers of the 'I' would see as empowering and the cultural capital of the piece as well as the subversion of 'sex sells' or exploitation of moralism allows readers to find the piece accessible.
- I think that this story encapsulates the 'I' 's ideologies and is an example of quality journalism.
