OSP: Paul Gilroy - Diasporic identity There are several important theories we need to learn and apply to our Online, Social and Participatory media unit. These include Clay Shirky's End of Audience theories, Stuart Hall's work on representation and reality and Paul Gilroy's postcolonial theory of black diasporic identity.

Notes from the lesson The Daily Mail is a ‘black top’ or mid-market tabloid newspaper. It is the second most popular daily national newspaper after the Sun. The Daily Mail was most successful in the early 2000s with more than 2m copies sold daily. It is now down to 1.2m but still influential. The paper offers a mix of hard and soft news.
