Read and translate the text about advertising:
Advertising
Advertising is arguably a main vehicle of social communication; and as such it has become the subject of much critical comment and even concern.
People are persuaded to identify themselves with what they consume. Advertisers sell dreams, ideal images and ways of life and values. The consumerist values and human images which advertising reinforces are simple stereotypes. It is pervasive and ubiquitous and that, in part, gives it its enormous power. Once, advertisers were associated only with promoting goods, skills or certain professional abilities. Now, they shape our political fortunes by running such things as election campaigns.
All forms of mass media rely on advertising for their existence. Newspapers have gone out of business through not being sufficiently attractive to advertisers (for example The Daily Herald in the UK in the 1960s). Advertising takes many forms, not all of them directly associated with selling a product. In sport and the arts a major development in recent years has been sponsorship. But it is merely indirect advertising.
The most pervasive forms of advertising are those which target the mass-consumer audience. Of these, television advertising is perhaps the most prestigious and powerful, since it commands the greatest audiences. And in this form quantity is far more important than quality.
There is the advertising connected to public relations (PR), where corporate or personal images are created and marketed. There is a PR division in every large company, and many freelance organizations whose central concern is to create or maintain the "good name" of a company, a person or a political party.
At the more mundane level, though no less powerful, are the trade and "small ads" geared to specific sections of the community; these are the entire funding bodies for the incessant free papers which deluge letterboxes in the world.
Art has taken advertising seriously for many years now, the pop art movement of the 1960s being perhaps the most obvious example. Andy Warhol's paintings of soup tins have passed into popular mythology, becoming virtually synonymous with a widespread conception of modern art.
Once regarded as the poor relative of "real" art, advertising has had its contribution approved by some very eminent figures. The British writer and broadcaster Troy Kennedy Martin, for example, put forward the idea of short "micro-dramas" as a new television form. They would emulate commercials in structure and duration, and would be repeated many times. They would "... consist of dozens of fragments of dramas, shards of experience made and put out very quickly and would have "zero visibility" in the normal run of programming being part of a flow which would enhance their qualities". Also, whereas a few years ago work for television or film commercials was scorned by most serious actors and directors as a poor (though profitable) substitute for stage or screen plays, the product of many famous names are now seen or heard every night of the week.
The advertising industry regularly gives its best practitioners prestigious awards based on the aesthetic and artistic criteria traditionally reserved for so-called "serious" drama. Advertising has amply repaid television and film for feeding off those media by re-channeling into them many of its techniques developed for promoting consumer sales.
