This article is about a famous sports and tennis player Serena Williams who was named GQ women of the year 2018. She was on the latest edition of the magazine. The sports star has been experiencing a lot of losses on the court and has also had her first kid. But the feature that she is on has been criticised for for featuring the word ‘woman’ in double quotation marks beside her image with ‘men’ crossed out.Many didn’t take to kindly to the word ‘woman’ being used with quotation marks, however it was revealed that the ‘woman’ logo was designed by Louis Vuitton. Despite the explanation, some critics feel it's still in ‘bad taste’.

 This is an example of soft news because it is to do with Sports and magazines.

This type of article will appeal to an audience because it is to do with a famous sports athlete who is a role model to everyone around the world and people want to know why one gender has been crossed out and replaced by another and what that is implying to sport and the athlete herself. There is a lot to with feminism and gender stereotypes.

This article does reflect the ideologies and beliefs because they are a type of newspaper to do articles like this with a of news about celebrities an sport.. They will do articles under the topics of celebrities because they were known in the past for just reporting celebrity gossip. The headlines that the voice write are quite to the point and tell the audience what the article is about.
