This clip from E! News illustrates how celebrities' bodies are being constantly analyzed and criticized in the pop culture public sphere. This particular clip is about how Snooki was bullied for being overweight, and how she overcame it. I think the way in which the news is presented is interesting. For the majority of the clip, it details Snooki's difficulties and problems with being bullied. For example, it uses three quotes that relate to the harsh criticism she received and her negative self body image. On the other hand, there is only one quote at the end which applies to her newfound positive self body image. The clip doesn't seem to focus on the positive aspects, such as her new healthy outlook on life, until the very end. Also, the news clip is comprised of mainly glamorous images of Snooki, and they seem to be photos from after her weight loss. The photos are primarily used to support her new positive body image and possibly inspire others to rethink their own body images as well.
