Janet Jackson announces birth of first child – a baby boy – at age of 50

Source: The telegraph, Manchester evening news, bbc news

 Janet Jackson had given birth at age 50 to a healthy baby boy named Eissa Al Mana and  it is said that Janet had a stress free delivery. Janet and her husband Wissam al mana got married back in 2012. She had stated at age 44 she would love to have children but it's all in gods hands.

After looking at other sources to see their view on this I came across a news article called Manchester evening news where talking about whether Janet was being selfish bringing in a child into the world at age 50.

When I saw this article I was quite shocked because 50 is quite an old age to have a child because that's the age where women start to go into menopause. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing because there are pros and cons here but I think the cons out weigh the pros in this particular case because, yeah you bring in a child into the world and get to be a parent but you may not be around to see your child grow up or even get married and have their kids. When her child is 16 she will be 66, and I know if it where me I would not take the risk for my child to be left without a mother at a young age.

Ouvrielle, age 40 speaks about how her mum and dad had her at the age of 48 and 69. She stated that she feels that she missed out on knowing her parents as an adult.



Ouvrielle was told that age 13 or 14 that she couldn't upset her dad because he could of had a heart attack. Ouvreille said that her parents were exhausted and the hardest thing for her was knowing how old her dad was and that he would likely die before she was grown up. She also goes on to saying that she lived in fear and prayed every week that he would live another week, but unfortunately her dad died just before her a levels at  age 86 when she was 18 years old.

 As for representation this comes under age.

    This story could have been compared to another similar story such as the worlds oldest mother, aged 70, giving birth! And include pictures!

    Corrections: *their* (instead of 'other sources to see there view') and *there* (instead of 'they are pros and cons'). Also after 'Manchester evening news' put 'which talked about whether' rather than 'where talking about weather'. Also include some pictures. Aside from that this is a good weekly news due to the fact that it is relevant to the representation of age within the media however, to improve I think you could include a more in depth explanation of how the article relates to representation of age and also perhaps include an additional paragraph comparing this article to other articles which also represent age.

"They told me to go jump off a bridge and kill myself': Plus-size model who shed 240LBS reveals she's been sent DEATH THREATS from 'fat activists' who are angry about her weight loss"  The source of this article is the Daily mail Plus-size model Rosie Mercado who lost 240lbs and had recently weighed 410lb said she was targeted by 'fat activists' who told her to kill herself after her She lost a sugnificant amount of weight.  fat activists are people that feel strongly against weight loss. which in my opinion I think its a little bit extreme because the media usually encourages people to live a healthy lifestyle by eating healthily and by exercising, so to here that there are people out there that are against weight loss is quite bizarre to me. Mum of 3 Rosie has stated that she doesn't ever regret losing the weight and is now living a happy and more healthy lifestyle. Rosie also spoke about the time that triggered her to go on her wei

London zoo gorilla broke enclosure glass twice before escape I recently found this story from the Guardian about a gorilla called kumbuka that escaped the enclosure at London zoo on Thursday evening it was reported that he broke out of his area and was later tranquillised by the vets and was brought back to his area. It has been reported that the london zoo have said that they are going to carry out a full investigation which has been described as a minor accident. Sources have stated that the cage door was left open. I chose this story because I usually here about animals escaping the zoo in movies and to here that a real life zoo animal escaped the zoo is quite astonishing. I also think that the zoo keepers should be more careful and should make sure that they close the cage, luckily for them no one was hurt.
