New Media Technician interviews

Year 13: tomorrow (Wednesday) we are interviewing for a new Media Technician. It means I'll be in and out of our lessons so you'll need to be working independently. You already know what you're working on currently, but here's a reminder:

13E (P1&2)
Your Critical Investigation Project Proposal is due today and I'll get a chance to look at them later. In the meantime, you can continue with the last part of the proposal which is starting to plan the research you will do for your essay. This will be our focus for the next two weeks so getting a good start now will be invaluable.


13D (P3&4)
We're still working on our News case study for new and digital media. As mentioned last week, we need to look into the decline of newspapers, and fortunately we have a detailed handout that does just that. Today, read The Decline of Newspapers and complete the task on page 2 that explores the difference between print and online newspapers.

Next, complete the task on page 3 that looks at the audience pleasures (remember Uses and Gratifications - Blumler and Katz) of the Guardian website.

You can continue to read the end of the document if you finish those tasks but I should be in for most of the lesson and we'll pick up the key points in discussion. We should have time to share our new and digital media stories too so be ready!

Thanks for your patience and don't forget to check our Twitter account for the latest stories and links.
