One Direction vs. The Media I: The Zayn of it All

In Part one of this three-part discussion on One Direction, we dive right into the way the band has been portrayed in the media. Join Sara Feigin and Jenna Million as they discuss the infamous 2013 GQ cover story on the boys that highlights them as not much more than a bunch of pretty faces. The misogyny ran rampant throughout the 2k+ word feature. We continue our discussion with Zayn and how the media tried to give him a leg up as a solo artist, seemingly respecting the Bradford “bad boy” more for quitting while the group was at its height. Tune back in next Sunday for a continuation on One Direction vs. The Media where we discuss the way that Louis, Harry, Niall and Liam were handled by the media post One Direction. !!!!
