Read the following four articles that all appeared in the last few days. Summarise the key points on your blogs (in your own words) and write a paragraph after each one outlining your view on the story...
The Daily closes shop: why the news app was doomed from thestart: I would have loved to see it work, but Rupert Murdoch's iPad-only
venture neglected key lessons of subscription news
Print in 2013: Newspapers cut costs and seek tablets ofsalvation: Alexander Lebedev needs an investor, there's a new boss at Pearson,
and the regional press faces further advertising woe
BBC and ITV apologise to Lord McAlpine for sex abuseallegations: Lawyers for broadcasters express remorse and withdraw allegations
after already agreeing to pay damages
Twitter active users pass 200 million: Number of Twitterati
has shot up from 140 million in May, but majority of 500 million registered

Complete this for homework, please.
Also, make sure you've completed all your homework from last week:
- a media story you've found (posted on your blog);
- last week's cover work;
- copy the link to every one of the NewsCorp presentations to your blog (there will be about 8/9 of them); for each one write 3-5 bullet points on what you've learned from it.
Over the Xmas holiday, your priorities are to work on your Critical Investigations and (for those re-sitting) to revise, practice and revise for your MEST1 exam.
But please make sure you read MediaGuardian on a daily basis and post up at least one story/week - so there need to be TWO additional stories on your blog on our first lesson back, summarised in your own words, with your opinion on them.
I'll check all of this in tutorials on the first lesson back in 2013!
