The first research task for your New/Digital Media independent case study is to use the Media Magazine archive.
This is an invaluable resource that you have already used for your critical investigations. Now, you need to return to the archive to find any relevant articles on your chosen industry and institution.
Use our Media Magazine archive but particularly the Word document with the contents page for each issue to search for relevant articles. Bear in mind there have been some particularly good features in recent issues released since you did your critical investigation research. Make sure you read the articles in full - as well as making notes and highlighting key quotes and statistics.
The original case study structure and task list is here - use this as a guide for your research but don't be constricted by it. Whatever relevant information you can find is going to be useful. Ultimately, you will end up with a blog post similar to your critical investigation Notes and Quotes document - and the quality and depth of this blog post will largely determine your final MEST3 exam grade.
If you're wondering what this Media Magazine research might look like, here's a great example from a previous year. Remember, Rabia went on to achieve an A* in Media so this is the level we're aiming for!
Note: you need to have your industry and text/institution approved by your exam teacher before you begin this research. Make sure you've done this before getting into your research.
Your initial deadline is 1,000 words on your NDM case study blog post by Monday 23 April.
