Chewing gum for the brain: Why do people talk such rubbish about Media Studies?
Why Media Studies is worth studying.
This gave me very good points for my personal statement, and explore ways in which media actually is a worthwhile degree. The lecturer spoke passionately about how Media is rapidly becoming a huge part of societies life. Lecturer, Professor Buckingham, explained how media studies is being represented in broadsheet newspapers. That in one guardian article, media studies was said to be a 'soft' subject
Online media, Cleggmania, and the Cowell Factor.
How do online media and convergence impact on the ways audiences and producers use and create media?
This was also very interesting, the mixture of the competition and the fact that they spoke about the X factor, which has become a part of everyone’s lives. Also the idea that harrow on the hill is such an expensive school, and that people tend to put down those who do not take on “Academic” subjects. Lecturer, Dr. Julian McDougall, explained the links between reality TV, the web, and politics. One really good point was that this year, the 3 parties in competition all appeared on reality TV on channel 3 in order to target a wider audience.
