Q3 Technological advances have created a long term decline in the circulation of national newspapers. Explain how the newspaper industry has responded to these changes.
The content below is not prescriptive and all valid points should be credited. It is not expected that responses will include all of the points listed but once again a lot of you have failed to give specific web examples and ways the newspapers are adapting to these changes and the relationship with their audiences.
AO1:2
Responses will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of contexts of media and their influence on media products and processes including:
explaining the economics of traditional and online editions of The Guardian and the Daily Mail newspapers (for example, paid for primarily by advertising based on audience number/ demographic as well as direct sales)
showing the significance of these changes for traditional print editions and online editions and newspaper audiences (e.g. The Guardian focusing on its online content and seeking to develop a donation-based culture; the Mail moving slightly downmarket with clickbait stories hosted on MailOnline; both papers are still seeking to maintain their print editions although these are making a loss)
explanation of technological convergence and/ or the proliferation of technology and the effect this has had on institutional process and audiences with reference to economic context (for example, The Guardian’s use of email to attract a regular audience; targeted advertising; the need for stories to be published online throughout the day as rolling news) GIVE SPECIFIC EGS
explaining the economic effect of the decline of traditional print editions, for example, with reference to circulation and yearly sales figures of traditional print versions and the rise of online subscription (neither The Guardian nor the Mail currently operate a paywall, compared to some of their competitors, although there is some debate as to whether this model is sustainable) HOW DOES THE GUARDIAN ASK READERS FOR MONEY?
explaining the economic implications of how newspapers are in competition for readers and how advertising revenue from the ‘new’ media is vital - GIVE EGS OF ADVERTISERS
explaining the different platforms used by audiences to access news content from The Guardian and Daily Mail with reference to the growth in online readership (give some numbers) and the impact on how audiences consume news (use of specific social media, websites means many consumers no longer pay for news content). GIVE SPECIFIC EGS.

Question 1 news question, examiners report, mark scheme and exemplar
Question 1 Analyse the different social and cultural representations in Sources A and B. Apply Hall's theory of representation in your answer.
Mark scheme
Examiners' feedback
- Higher achieving candidates developed sophisticated discussions of the social and cultural representations rather than simply describing the way Theresa May had been represented.
- There were a wide range of interpretations about what constituted Hall's theory of representation; therefore, it was necessary to be broad in accepting candidates' application application of the theory to the two texts.
- Some candidates analysed the two texts and then tried to shoehorn Hall's theory into their answer
- Interpretations of Hall ranged from stereotypes, to power relations, analysis of gender and finally to reception theory
Full mark answer Q1:
AO2:
1 – apply knowledge and understanding of the theoretical framework of media to
analyse media products, including in relation to their contexts and through the
use of academic theories Total 10 marks
Practise
question 1 indicative content
·
Gauntlett’s theory applies to a sense of
identity that a newspaper can offer its readers eg identity of a liberal,
progressive arts loving Guardian readers or a patriotic, hard-headed Daily
Express reader (ordinary person who likes to keep in touch and enjoys celebrity
news) give evidence of these
·
Diverse and contradictory media messages – give
examples
·
Both main images are identical and have been
selected to represent Luxembourg’s prime minister at a press conference
standing on his own signalling toward at a podium pointing at an empty
·
Empty podium significant as Mr Johnson was meant
to be answering questions
·
This significant event is influenced by
political bias – DE pro Johnson and anti European and Guardian anti Johnson more
remain – support with text
·
The use of space and composition in the Guardian
main image alongside the anchorage of headline/copy reinforces the narrative of
Boris’ absence as cowardly or embarrassing
·
The DE layout forces focus onto Luxembourg PM
and surrounds him with derogatory defensive text using words such as tiny
haven, stage-managed, anti-Brexit, no wonder childish language
·
If Gauntlett says people use media to build self
identities – The Guardian would appeal more to left wing Remainers and the DE
to right wing leavers

What music means to you
What Music Means To Me
'What Music means to Me' - presentation to the class
As preparation, pick 3 tracks that mean something to you - in some way are a reflection on your life, and prepare to talk about your choices. One track should be from your childhood, one from your early teens and one that means a lot to you today. It's about honesty not about what your friends will think of you.
As with every hwk/task write about what you learnt from the task and each other. Basically what it says here and your own reflection:
The purpose of this task is to get you to use music in an autobiographical way and to think about the significance of music personally, culturally and socially.

Jungle Book practical task

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
A 2-3 minute interview with the marketing manager and producer of the new Jungle Book. If there are three of you the producer and the marketing manager gets interviewed, if only two then take turns playing each of the roles and interview each other.

The producer will talk about the exciting combination of actors and effects and the marketing manager can discuss all the ways they intend to promote the film. Go through your google slides and take notes of all the production and marketing techniques and devise questions for these.
Break it up into sections so that the interviewer can say let's take a look. Give us much information an be as interesting as you possibly can be and try to look at the interviewer when you speak. Maybe memorise a couple of lines at a time and then pause.
