The active nature of distilling notes into a few key words, statistics, quotes or theories means you are MUCH more likely to remember them in the exam.
For MEST3 Section B, you need revision cards for the following topics:
- The decline of the newspaper industry – including stats!
- Paywalls – David Simon ‘Build The Wall’/Sun, Times paywall v free Mail Online and Guardian
- News Values – Galtung and Ruge
- News Corporation – Rupert Murdoch and newspaper industry
- User Generated Content (UGC), citizen journalists and hyperreality in modern news (Baudrillard)
- Impact on audience and institution – choice/trust (News on the Tweet – newspapers and Twitter)
- Marxism and Pluralism
- Alain de Botton – news as a form of social control
- Globalisation
- Your own, independent case study (this will obviously require multiple revision cards)
For MEST3 Section A, revision cards are an excellent method to ensure you have enough examples from the wider media for questions 2 and 3 (usually based around media debates to do with Identity and New/Digital Media). For this you need:
- TEN revision cards with examples linked to Identity (E.g. youth, feminism, race/ethnicity - post-colonialism, gender identity issues, identity and film, collective identity, identity and social media etc.)
- TEN revision cards with examples linked to New/Digital Media (E.g. Citizen journalism, #blacklivesmatter campaign, social media impact on news, streaming services and changes in the music industry, Netflix and Amazon Prime etc.
These need to be completed for homework - due date set by your exam class teacher.
