Sally McManus created a media product for their foundation portfolio. The product uses conventions of real magazines such as colors, mastheads, cover stars, and cover lines. It represents indie/alternative genres and targets 15-25 year old males and females. The product could be distributed by music magazine publishers like IPC Media or Bauer Media. The audience would be fans of indie/alternative music. Sally learned skills like image manipulation and applying the rule of thirds. They improved cover lines and added more images from their preliminary task to the full product.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

8. Who would be the audience for your media
product?
Sally McManus
My music magazine follows typical conventions of new and already existing media products. Both mastheads from my magazine and the already existing magazine Q are slightly covered by the cover star, also both are bold and consisting of two different colours which helps to attract the audience’s attention. Cover lines are placed down one side of the cover star on both magazine which makes it easy to read and look uncluttered and simple. With my magazine being targeted at a more niche audience it doesn’t include many cover lines which therefore challenges existing media products as it shows it’s unnecessary to clutter the front page with many stories. Each cover line on both magazine have a number next to it corresponding with what page it’s placed on within the magazine. Within the weak fallow area on the front cover on my music magazine is the barcode as I know people would only glance there therefore wouldn’t place information there that they would ignore. The double page spread from my magazine has the same layout as existing magazines such as Q allowing pictures on one side and the article on the other.
Within my front cover page it is very similar to the existing music magazine Q as both contain direct address from the main cover star, both have all cover lines down the left hand side and both mast heads are slightly covered by the cover star. Another similarity is that both magazines have contain red white and black in their colour scheme although Q also contain orange. One of the things that make my magazine unique and stand out against Q is that it contains an incentive which would persuade my target audience to buy my magazine instead of one from a company such as Q.
Again, like on my front cover. There are quite a few similarities between a contents page from Q magazine and one from SYNC. Both cover lines are again down the left hand side of the image of the cover star and both cover stars have direct address with the audience. However, on the contents page for my media product SYNC it contains many things that Q does not. It has a banner of images running along the bottom of it that correspond with cover lines, it also has a main cover line and a pull quote from the interview with the cover star. This would entice my audience to buy my magazine over Q’s as they would be able to see slightly what the main cover line is about and be interested to read more of it.
In my double page spread it is similar to that of a double page spread from Q magazine as they both have drop caps, the cover star on one A4 side of the spread and both contain the artist name, they both also have direct address from the cover star. However on my double page spread, unlike the double page spread from Q magazine, it contains a title and a kicker. By having these on my double page spread I believe it reveals a little more from the interview which would entice my target audience to read the rest of the article.
My media product is aimed at social groups of both male and female aged between 15 to 25 who like the indie/alternative music genre. All whotook part in my market research were mainlypeople of this description which gave me the outline for my target audience and roughly how much they would purchase my product for. Through the results from my market research I found that most of the people buying my magazine would be studentstherefore it would have to be low cost as they live off a budget therefore my magazine would cost £2. I also found that some people buy music magazine simply for the incentive therefore I decided to make it one of my priorities to include one within my magazine.
After looking at both publishing houses IPC Mediaand Bauer Media, I believe that IPC Media seems to be the more suitable company to distribute my media product. I came to this conclusion as they distribute magazines such as NME which is similar to my magazine SYNC as they have similar target audiences and the same main music genre which is indie.
From the results of my market research I realised most people prefer indie music to other genres therefore I chose the colours black white and red as these colour are used on other magazines such as NME when portraying indie bands. I also chose to list indie bands and artists in my cover lines as this would make my magazine appeal to my target audience.
A vast majority of the people who took part in my research decided that the cover star in the main attraction to the magazine and what makes them purchase it therefore I have chosen to have my cover star taking up most of my front cover and contents page.
To attract my target audience I kept a consistent house style throughout my magazine using the same colour scheme of black red and white as shown by my double page spread, mast head and cover star. The image of the cover star on the front page is also a portrait photograph which has direct address to any readers which would make them feel as though the cover star is looking at them and makes the magazine seem more personal.
I used programs such as photo shop to manipulate my images.
I have learnt about rule of thirds when taking a photograph.
I used the website slide share as this enabled me to upload any word documents and embed them into my blog.
I used the website blogspot.com to create this blog to upload all my finished work onto.
This shows the difference between my preliminary task to my final product.
