Some up to date facts to memorise
Sam really likes these important facts to memorise so here goes...
- Today we found out that Stranger Things was the most watched Netflix programme of 2019.
- A school had a mail online journalist visit them and here are the answers to some questions he was asked:
Thanks for all the questions folks. I didn't get round to all of them and kept it light as this was a parent.
Some interesting findings:
The Daily Mail Produces 2,000 articles per day
900 videos per day
30,000 photos per day
Readership of The Daily Mail is 2.5m/day
Readership of Mail Online is 15.5m/day
Adverts are the main source of income.
Marks and Spencer's is the largest advertiser on Mail Online.
They have around 10 dealings with IPSO/week from 14,000 articles - which is surprisingly low considering the Mail's reputation.
Editorial different than The Daily Mail – slightly more balance due to the US audience of Mail Online
This journalist got into journalism by working in local papers then the Independent, Observer, then The Mail.
They weren't optimistic about the future of print news and think it'll barely exist in ten years time.

Applying L and L to LFTVD
LIVINGSTONE AND LUNT
Some ideas of how to apply, what else?
• Look at the age rating on dvds for it. Why it got this etc...
• Where it was shown in the UK and how that might fit into PSB regulation (giving choice to consumers) under OFCOM.
• Linking content to post watershed scheduling, but how scheduling is not a relevant system of regulation in the contemporary media landscape of place and time shifted media. If it was available on iplayer which as a BBC service, it is regulated in a similar way to standard TV, so it is less of a risk.
https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/advice-for-consumers/television/video-on-demand Because it is now available on Amazon Prime Video, regulation is an interesting one for D’83. These articles are really helpful.
https://www.radiotimes.com/news/2018-05-04/how-is-the-watershed-changing-in-the-modern-tv-world/
https://inews.co.uk/news/media/netflix-complaints-ofcom-regulator-diet-controversy-501533
https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/advice-for-consumers/television/video-on-demand
Essentially the part to evaluate is the 'idea that the rise of convergent technologies puts traditional regulation at risk'. As part of the Prime subscription more likelihood that younger viewers will come across it by accident or seek it out, having generally less disposable income to spend (or indeed inclination, so perhaps there's an argument for self -regulation via content/genre?) on foreign historical cold war drama.
• What are the pros and cons of regulating online media and streaming services?
