Print gobbledygook

Question 3

"Explain how cultural contexts influence the ways audiences interact with print and/or online news."

How does the UK consume news
The audience demands it
Online news allows for more interaction

"What has happened in our culture in the last 30 years that may have influenced how we interact with print and online newspapers?"

Thanks to recent digital advancements and convergence, we are now able to become prosumers instead of consumers, and can make content or share our options with others about certain print and online newspapers. An example of this is comment sections on online newspapers, in which people can write about their opinions on the newspapers itself, and share them with others that may or may not agree.

People now have shorter attention spans due to advancement of technology, and as a result interact with print and online newspapers more, as they constantly want a stream of news.

Faster internet means that people no longer need to dial up.

Environmental awareness has led to many people avoiding the purchase of newspapers or paper based media.

Diversity and The Remake

Diversity and The Remakes The film industry has been accused of lacking diversity, with it being too white, too male, too straight, too American etcetera. Only two women have ever won the Oscar for 'best director'; they are Kathryn Biyelow and Chloe Zhao. Chloe Zhao went on to direct The Eternals. It is certainly the case that for many years the film industry just did what it wanted - because it could. Harvey Weinstein was a director and producer that participated in negative and illegal activities; he committed sexual assault in 2020, and was called out for this by Jennifer Lawrence. Since them, representation and diversity have become huge issues for the film industry and Disney in particular recent years.  #Oscarssowhite was a hashtag that trended online in protest to the fact that there was a lack of diversity and representation within the Oscars, with 91% of award winners being white.
