Year 13 Media students: UWL visiting lecturer

Dr Sumaya Alnahed from the University of West London will be visiting us on Friday 5 May to deliver a lecture on the impact of new and digital media on news and journalism.

The key details:

  • Friday 5 May
  • Periods 3&4
  • Lecture Theatre

In a world of fake news and alternative facts, the lecture will explore how social media and citizen journalism has changed the nature of reporting. Has this empowered audiences or merely flooded the modern media landscape with ‘clickbait’ gossip and listicles? Can audiences influence the news agenda or has the erosion of gatekeeping and editorial control meant that power and politicians are no longer being held to account? 

This is compulsory for Year 13 Media students (unless you have another timetabled lesson at that time) and we will be taking a register.
