13E homework

Right, we're nearly done with our class topic for new and digital media: News.

Next week you'll be starting your own individual case study on another aspect of new and digital technology, so please have a think about something specific you'd like to research. An industry or issue that we can use to draw links with our News case study is particularly helpful here. Make sure you've got a few ideas of what your case study could be - some good ideas so far include the impact new and digital media has had on the music industry and the audience experience of sport (although both of these need to drill down to pick one aspect of these broad topics). These can both be linked to News because previous revenue streams have been decimated or changed but you could argue that the audience experience has improved.

You also need to make sure you find your regular two new and digital media stories and, if you missed Tuesday's lesson, create an index of the 20 stories you have found so far. Have a look at Akshay's blogpost if you're not sure what this involves.

So, to sum up your homework:

1) Finish the classwork on News Corporation.

2) Find your regular two new and digital media stories.

3) Think about what case study you are going to research over Easter.

Due: next week
