Newspapers index


Newspapers index
You also need to update your separate index of ALL of your work for on Newspapers this half-term. 

This process is an excellent start to your revision for the Media One exam in the summer and will also highlight if you've missed anything through absence or trips. Your index should include the following:

1) Newspapers: The decline in print media
2) Newspapers: The death of print media Factsheet
3) Newspapers: The future of journalism
4) Newspapers: News Values
5) Newspapers: Regulation MM article
6) Newspapers: Regulation essay- done on paper
7) Newspapers: Daily Mail case study
9) Newspapers: The i newspaper and website case study

For your index, the text should link to YOUR corresponding blogpost so you can access your work on each aspect of the case study quickly and easily. This also means you if you have missed anything you can catch up with the work and notes and won't underperform in assessments or exams due to gaps in your knowledge.
Newspapers: assessment revision

You will have an assessment on the Newspapers unit after half-term. Revise everything in the indexes above in order to prepare for this.  
Index due date: anything you don't complete in the lesson needs to be posted by your first lesson after half-term.

OSP: Paul Gilroy - Diasporic identity

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 Stuart Hall: representation and reality Stuart Hall suggests individuals each have their own conceptual map – effectively what we use to decode and understand media texts. Building on this, Hall outlines three approaches to understanding the relationship between reality and representations:  Reflective approach:  the media simply mirrors (or reflects) the real world. This is a limited approach that minimalises the power or complexity of the media. Intentional approach:  the producer of the text constructs the world as they see it and the audience accepts those values encoded in the text. This is effectively t...

OSP: The Voice - blog case study Our second Online, Social and Participatory CSP is the Voice newspaper website - a niche publication targeting the black British community. The Voice has a significant place in the social and historical context of race relations and representation in Britain, launching in 1982 in the wake of the Brixton race riots. It is also the perfect case study to further develop our understanding of Paul Gilroy's postcolonial theory we studied last lesson. The Voice - background and notes The Voice, founded in 1982, is the only British national black weekly newspaper operating in the United Kingdom.

Newspapers: Daily Mail case study

Newspapers: Daily Mail case study The Daily Mail is our first newspaper CSP and a hugely influential voice in British media. We need to study the newspaper from the perspective of audience and industries, linking what we've already learned about the newspaper industry and journalism. 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. It is socially, economically and politically conservative and backs the Conservative Party in politics. The Daily Mail: ownership and editorial The Daily Mail is owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT). Its chairman is Jonathan Harmsworth, 4th Viscount Rothermere, whose great-grandfather was a co-founder of the newspaper.  From 1992 until Aut...
