'THIS IS FULL- SCALE SMUGGLING'

£3.5million stash of drug Spice found in two cells in crisis-hit prison.

5kg of synthetic cannabis was found in a cell in HP Northumberland which was seen to be worth around £3.5 million and the street value is seen to be ten times more than that. Officials say that it is the biggest drug find in the UK, this was able to take place due to the pre-preparation and organisation. Police are undertaking an investigation.

 

This relates to media as its opening the public to things that they may not find out otherwise as people don't have an insight to prisons. It may also appeal to some of the audience the news paper write for.

I chose this article because I feel that some people may be shocked from reading this article as they feel that prisons are made to prevent people from omitting crimes but a large drug smuggle happened within a prison. It shows the lack of power that authorities really have over inmates. To add, its not that surprising to me because things like this the government really know about but they act oblivious and now and again put it in the news paper.

'I'm flat-chested on one side but lucky to be alive' 

A woman has been left with one 32DDD boob after her nipple piercing caused her to have a deadly infection.

Nikki Belza has been left with only one 32DDD after her nipple piercing got caught on her work shirt and ripped her nipple off. The young lady thought nothing of it until the morning of her birthday when she woke up to excruciating pain under her left arm and collapsed at work, she was quickly rushed to hospital where her temperature was 104F, three times above the normal human body. Prior to her infection her husband had a throat infection which she then developed Streptococcal, the bacteria caused her body to for a deadly blood posing that lead to her left boob tissue raging forcing doctors to remove the implant to save her life. 

Nikki, a cocktail waitress, said: “I was absolutely devastated to be left with only one boob, I am now completely flat-chested on one side, but I know how lucky I am to be alive"

When she was first sent to the hospital the doctors thought nothing of it as they thought it was to do with her previous nipple surgery but when her temperature raised to 104.3F the following day then discovered that he had sepsis. Her white blood cell as 44,000 the highest her doctor has ever counted. Belza was facing a life and death situation and the only way for her to survive was for her left boob to be removed. After nine weeks she is still recovering and hopes to soon get new implants.
 
                                          This relates to media as it is such a wide network which means that somewhere in the world someone could be acing the same or similar situation and can relate. It can also educate people of the dangerous of breast implants and the implication of it and opens eyes of different women and how they should be careful with these things.
I choose this article as we live in a generation where a large amount of people are always trying new things to improve their bodies and make it look in a certain way that the media portrays their body should look without showing the problems it can cause. This article will really open the eyes of many females and encourage them to do full research on body mortification.

I fear I’m settling for my boyfriend because I am 27 and this is my first serious relationship

                                 

This news article is about a young woman who has only been in her first serious relationship 18 months ago and her doubts of wanting more with him like marriage and children. She is scared about settling with him as he is the first man she has seriously been with, she doesn't want to end things and have to deal with the regret.

This article relates to media as there will be many people out there dealing with the same problem and can relate. Also she will be able to get advise from many different people about her problem and come to a conclusion. The media is a good way to broadcast issues that other people may be going through and help you deal with yours.

The reason why I choose this article because in society and the media in the generation I live in, it is normal for people to be in relationship from around the age of 13, the idea of some of the age of 27 to be experiencing her first relationship so 'late' is not seen as norm.

This relates to media as its a story which will interest a group of people and media is there to create things which will appeal to everyone. Also this will help me to think about creating things to suit a wide range of different people and not only the common set. And a good case study for later on.
