theorists

curran + seaton - power and media industries

we live in a cultural capitalist society - this effects how media industries are owned and run.

fewer people own large chunks of media industries - what we see, read and hear lack other opinions.

the theorists argue that the internet does not challenge this as nationalism and state censorship.

livingstone + lunt - regulation

regulation is a set of rules. different media is regulated by different bodies, such as the bbfc regulating films and pegi regulating games.

regulating should be in public interest - protects audience from harmful and dangerous influences

adults should be offered choice, regulators need to find a balance between protection and choice

technological convergence and online media has made regulation incredibly hard. it is easy to bypass age restrictions. ofcom and tv regulators cannot regulate streaming services.

regulation - very attachable to news

hesmondhalgh - cultural industries

media industries follow a capitalist pattern of concentration and integration.

concentration - ownership of industries tend to be in the hands of fewer, powerful people

integration - horizontal integration to eliminate competition. vertical integration to reduce risk and increase efficiency.

success is difficult to predict. producers rely on repeated narratives that cover the cost of failures. reduced risk.

risk - not very attachable to news

question 4 example

audiences are no longer the audience and are now prosumers

audience shares opinion in comments section

audience shares opinion online through social media

they are not passive and actively engage with the content themselves, now creating their own content from it

Media Blog Introduction

Introduction My name is Ben Metcalfe, and I am a media student. This blog will document my work and what I get up to in Media Studies. My favorite film is Hot Fuzz, because it tells a funny story, and is not without excitement, action, and courage. A few actors in this move also take the lead role in another film, "Shaun Of The Dead". This is also a great movie, and maybe my #2. My favorite series is Friday Night Dinner, because it is extremely funny, and features a lot of great actors. Each episode brings something new and original to the table, generating a fantastic viewing experience. My favorite music video is Crying Lightning on YouTube, by Arctic Monkeys; this is because I love Arctic Monkeys and the video includes many cool effects. I am most likely to read the Times newspaper, as it is the most trustworthy to me.

Shelter Advert What does a charity advert need to do? ● Needs to be clear about what they stand for (goals, expectations) ● Needs a clear motive for their work ● To create a response in their audience ● Make the audience want to take action ● Inform their audience as to how they can help ● Inform their audience that the problem is ● Offer facts and statistics about the problem Joe Torres Advert The Joe Torres advert is good as it is clear about what it stands for and what it wants to prevent, and goes a good job in creating an impactful response in their audience; they want to help out to solve the problem being shown.
