Media lunchtime revision sessions

 Henry Jenkins Participatory Media - media becomes a part of people's lives and people participate in media such as online news and its lack of regulation or how The Killing was a public service broadcast but was remade by AMC and was turned into a capitalised piece of media

Clay Shirky End Of Audience - consumers become prosumers and make content such as the comments on the Mail Online and Minecraft streamers who are watched more than the game is played

Bell Hooks could be applied to Meghan Markle and her treatment as opposed to Kate

limitations of theorists:

  • Bandura- made in the 60s so is an old theory and was made for TV and used kids
  • Barthes- symbols can be identified incorrectly also very old
  • Van Zoonen- Men in power in Stranger Things can be incompetent but women like Nancy and Joyce have to work, in The Killing Sarah Lund is powerful but Jan is sloppy
  • Hyper reality- a recreation of the 80s made through the Spielbergian Hyper Reality in Stranger Things so is not entirely accurate of the 80s
  • post modernism- subjective, simple reality that isn't true

Theorists

Steve Neale Intertextual relay suggests that genres are constantly evolving and are being influenced by each other to form hybrid genres David Hesmondhaigh The theory of vertical and horizontal integration was made for general integration of how companies approach a market. Horizontal integration means a company buying all stages of production for a product while vertical integration means buying other companies in the same market. The internet is powerful and has potential but is used wrongly by people in power. Clay Shirky End of audience theory suggests that consumers are now producers and that consumers now require some level of interactivity in their media products but professional publishing means the theory isn't completely accurate. Tzvetan Todorov Narratology references the structure of narratives with the common structure proposed being: equilibrium(the norm where everything is peaceful), disruption(breaks the equilibrium and needs to be fixed), transformation/ chain of ...

News question 3

Model paragraph The UK news industry is oligopolistic, with 86% of the industry in the hands of just three conglomerates. Culturally expectations of the UK have shifted where consumers now expect news to be free. As well established news brands compete with online 24 hour news, it has become increasingly important for producers to create effective, monetised websites to match this changing cultural demand. Despite declining print sales in the industry, established UK news brands are choosing to retain their print version due to historical and cultural prestige associated with the British news industry. This allows news brands to leverage the reputation of their printed version. We can see how cultural contexts can affect the way audiences interact with print and online news in The Guardian and the Daily Mail.
