NDM assessment: additional revision

There are plenty of resources out there to help you prepare for your MEST3 Section B assessment next week.

You will obviously be looking over your two indexes of our News case study work AND all the NDM stories that you have collected over the last term. However, there is plenty more out there. Anything you read in our Media Magazine archive will help to give you a wider perspective on media debates and every issue has several articles with a new/digital media focus. We also have an archive of 150 A Level Media Studies Factsheets that we have subscribed to - in fact, these are brilliant for both critical investigations and the exam topic.

You'll find our Media Magazine archive here and the Media Factsheets are available on the M: Media Shared drive > Resources > A Level > Media Factsheets.

In particular, the following Factsheets will be useful for the exam:

050 'We-Media' and Democracy
053 Journalism in the New Media Age: The effect of online technology
071 Citizen Journalism: from Producer to Audience
076 News Values
088 The Impact of New Media on Politics
092 Globalisation and the Media
104 Audiences in the Digital Age
131 Social Media and the News Agenda
134 Press, Prominence and Persuasion – A Case Study in News and Social Media

There are plenty for you to look through for your Critical Investigation too - horror film, gender, post-9/11 Hollywood and more. Plus one that we could all use for both MEST3 Section B essays AND our critical investigations:

060 How to Write Academic Essays

Remember: these resources are all for you - the more you use them, the better you will do!
