Woman and Adbusters

The representation of black people in each magazine.

Woman magazine's ideology is that there are no black people with wealth or luxury but not featuring any black female models.

Adbusters uses black people in order to express the countries of poverty where the population is predominately black.

Binary opposition between the representation of black people and white people is shown in multiple articles of Adbusters and Woman.
