NDM story index - February 2018

As we get towards the end of the Identities and the Media unit, we need to make sure we're keeping up new and digital media stories each week. 

After half-term, we will be finishing off our work on representation and identity by exploring feminism, youth subcultures and collective identity. Following that, it's straight back to new/digital media and our own case studies. The two NDM stories you are finding each week could be invaluable when building your own independent case study in the run-up to Easter.  

NDM story index

Over half-term, you need to update your NDM story index of ALL of your NDM stories so far. This homework was originally in September which means you should have a minimum of 34 stories in your index by the end of half-term (we've been slightly generous there and not included the holidays!) 

Your index should have the story number (starting with your first story back in September as #1), the headline and a link to your blog post for that story - guidance for the original task from September (with top-level examples from previous years) is here.

Remember, every story you post needs to be on a separate blogpost and the link in the index should go to YOUR blog post summarising the story, not the original article itself.

We've put LOADS of links on the Macguffin Blog Twitter account in the last few weeks - Facebook, fake news, Theresa May announcing a review of journalism funding, YouTube viewership stagnating, social media bias/echo chambers, paywalls, impact of new/digital on local journalism, the latest on Tronc, Netflix numbers, Spotify and more!

Index due date: fully up-to-date for the first lesson after half-term.
