NDM case study Task 2: Media Factsheet research

The second research task for your New/Digital Media independent case study is to use our archive of A Level Media factsheets.

This is a brilliant resource with 160+ A Level-standard factsheets on a huge variety of Media topics. There will almost certainly be a factsheet in the archive on your chosen industry or institution - and there may be several. A few examples include:

050 We Media
067 Lady Gaga and the digital music industry
083 The impact of new media on TV
104 Audiences in the digital age
112 Netflix
113 TV and social media
114 Online privacy: Google
122 The changing face of the music industry
136 The rise of YouTube opinion leaders
143 Politics and persuasion
145 VICE News
149 Ownership and control in the digital age
168 The cultural industries

You'll find the archive on the Media Shared drive:

M:\Resources\A Level\Media Factsheets

Make sure you read the relevant factsheets 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.

Remember your current deadline: 1,000 words on your NDM case study blog post by Monday 23 April.
