The third research task for your New/Digital Media independent case study is find recent online articles about your chosen industry and institution/text that give you up-to-the-minute examples, statistics and quotes.
The very nature of new and digital media means the landscape is constantly changing and examiners love seeing examples from the days and weeks leading up to the exam.
You may want to look back at your index of NDM stories you have been collecting weekly since September - this is when finding great articles all year really pays off. Other good sources are the usual newspaper media/tech pages...
The Guardian: Digital Media
The Guardian: Technology
The Independent: Media News
...but don't stick exclusively to these. Find your own too - there may be blogs, magazines such as the Economist, industry-specific sites and more.
We've also been linking stories from our Twitter account all year - @blogmacguffin - so make sure you're following that and look back at what we've posted over the last couple of months too.
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 are working on 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.
Your next deadline is 2,500 words on your NDM case study blog post by Monday 30 April.
