Weekly New & Digital Media (NDM) Stories

13E: Every week (for Monday's double lesson, p5/6) you must find, read, summarise and comment upon at least one story about New and Digital Media (A/B candidates will do more). The best sources to begin with are...

• The Guardian: Digital Media 
• The Guardian: Technology
• The Guardian: Newspapers
• The Guardian: News Corporation

...but don't stick exclusively to these throughout the year. Find your own too.

You'll also find stories linked from our Twitter account, @blogmacguffin so make sure you're following that.

For each story...

• Provide the title and weblink;
• Include a relevant image or graphic;
• Summarise the story in your own words;
• Produce a list of bullet points of any key data/statistical information;
• Comment on the story: What's your view? (At least one paragraph).

You'll be presenting these to the class each week (from memory, so make sure you come prepared) and this will ensure you build up an archive of up-to-date examples to include in any exam answer.

What does this look like? Check out this blog post from one of our students last year - this gives you an idea of what a valuable resource these stories quickly become.
