Consider this article and the previous selection, Stephanie Hanes’s “Little Girls or Little Women? The Disney Princess Effect.” Both treat similar sets of issues and even use some of the same sources of evidence, for example, the work of journalist Peggy Orenstein. Are there other similarities? How do the two articles differ with respect to tone, kinds of evidence cited, and arguments made? To what degree might intended audience help account for these differences? Good Housekeeping is characterized as a women’s magazine, and the path to the online version of this article is home . family & relationships . parenting tips while the Christian Science Monitor is generally seen as an online newspaper that presents objective and, as one source terms it, “nonhysterical” coverage of the topics it discusses. (See Chapter 6 for a discussion of the notion of audience.)
