Issues and Debates quiz wk 1

Welcome to year 13. As you all know by now, your Med 6 exam requires extensive knowledge of current media issues and debates. This is the kind of knowledge that we just can't give you in class - it's up to YOU to visit the Media Guardian website and start reading around.

What you can expect from us, however, is this weekly quiz. Send your answers to
Ms Jones by the end of each week (that's 26.9.08 for this week's quiz), and the student who gets the most correct answers over the course of the year will win a media-related prize.

  1. Which news channel, recently taken to an employment tribunal and accused of religious, sexual and race discrimination, is now facing allegations of bullying?
  2. Which radio station is planning to invest £15m on its marketing and content over its first few years on the air?
  3. Deepak Chopra, Bill Gates, Eva Longoria and her basketball-playing husband Tony Parker all have cameos in which new advertising campaign?
  4. The BBC and ITV are embroiled in a Saturday night scheduling contest. Which programmes are battling it out?
  5. Which satellite channel is about to launch a week-long campaign against knife crime?
