Regulations ipso and queen backing brexit
The document discusses analyzing The Sun newspaper's coverage of Brexit and its regulatory body IPSO. It prompts the reader to examine whether The Sun took a "leave" or "remain" position on Brexit by looking at its articles and statistics from other sources. It also asks the reader to consider The Sun's ownership and target audience as reasons for its stance. Other topics covered include applying media theories like hegemony to The Sun's Brexit coverage, the purpose and structure of IPSO, a complaint made to IPSO about one of The Sun's articles, criticisms of IPSO, and the impacts of IPSO on audiences and institutions.
Marginalised identity case study
This document provides guidance for creating an identity case study on a marginalized or minority group. It suggests focusing on 3-4 media texts representing the chosen identity from different formats and platforms. Students should analyze how the identity is portrayed, whether positively or negatively, and how they are received by dominant groups. Regulations applying to the media texts' production and consumption should also be researched. Examples are given for potential identity groups to study, including the LGBT community, those with disabilities, and young black males. Tips for each identity provide starting points for finding relevant media texts and analyzing how the groups construct individual and collective identities and are responded to by audiences and institutions.
Final feedback and exam prep
New and digital media have contributed to the process of globalization by enabling the spread of content to a global audience. As a case study, the document discusses how a Facebook Live video of a police shooting helped spread awareness of issues within minority communities and demonstrated citizen journalism's role in sharing underreported stories, though it also highlighted challenges in regulating live content and potential negative effects on audiences.
Reception theory and demographics
This document discusses key concepts related to understanding audiences, including demographics, psychographics, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and reception theory. It defines different social classes (A-E) and explains that psychographics looks at an audience's behaviors and personality traits. Reception theory holds that the meaning of a text is created by the relationship between the text and the reader, and that readers can have dominant, negotiated, or oppositional interpretations based on their social positioning and experiences. It provides an example applying these concepts to different interpretations of the TV show TOWIE.
Intro to identity
The document discusses the new topic area of "Identities and the Media" for A2 Media Studies. It reflects the importance of cultural identities in both traditional and new media forms. The study of identity intersects with theories of representation, audience and ideology. Studying identity signifies a move away from analyzing representations of groups in terms of difference, toward the concepts of fluidity and performance. Representation theory has limitations in explaining today's complex media landscape, as the line between producers and audiences is now blurred. Theories of identity consider representation as one aspect of the intersection between media, audiences and evolving identities.
Uses and gratifications pp
Uses and Gratifications theory suggests that people use media to fulfill four needs: escape from everyday life, surveillance and information, personal relationships, and personal identity. Music magazines satisfy these needs by providing an escape through artists' stories, informing readers about music and the industry, allowing social interaction between fans, and enabling identification with musical genres and artists. Modern magazines further fulfill these needs through interactive websites that let fans engage with content, each other, and sometimes artists directly.

young women identity case study
This document discusses a case study on the construction of young female identities in media. It prompts the reader to analyze examples of how teenage girls present their own identities on social media (e.g. Zoella, Kylie Jenner), and how media institutions construct representations of teenage girls (e.g. music videos, advertisements). The reader is asked to consider how different audiences respond to and consume these identities using reception theory. They should also explore whether the representations reinforce or challenge dominant ideologies about teenage girls and their use of new media technologies. A range of media platforms and examples are provided to aid the reader's research on this topic.

Media & collective identity
The document provides guidance on writing an essay about media and collective identity. It discusses how the media can distort facts to negatively portray some groups, such as portraying teenage boys primarily as criminals. It also discusses how the media amplified moral panics around youth groups in the 1960s. Examples of negative media portrayals of youth from newspaper articles and films from that time are given. Suggested topics for the essay include analyzing historical and current media representations of groups and their social implications, as well as considering Marxist and cultural studies perspectives on the role of the media in representing and constructing identities.
Week 5 - Content
This document provides an introduction to content analysis and representation in media studies. It discusses key concepts such as content, representation, and symbolic annihilation. It also provides examples of how content analysis is used to study patterns in media content and evaluate representations of gender, race and other groups. Specific studies analyzed the race/ethnicity of characters in 600 popular films from 2007-2013 and found underrepresentation compared to U.S. census data and that women and minorities tended to be trivialized, victimized or sensationalized.
Collective identity intro
The document provides specifications for an exam on collective identity, focusing on two case studies: gender and youth. Students must compare and contrast representations of these groups in television and film from past, present, and future time periods. They should also refer to critical theories and answer four prompt questions about media representations and constructions of collective and mediated identities.
MACS 101 - Representation

Key advice includes using at least two media examples, two theorists, and linking the response back to the question. Outlines for essay sections and an introduction/conclusion are provided to help students achieve high grades.
Audience theory analysis
Here is a 539 word analysis of the HSBC campaign text applying audience and representation theories:
This text is an advertisement campaign constructed by HSBC bank and their advertising agency J. Walter Thompson. As a major multinational bank, HSBC has constructed many marketing campaigns in the past to promote their brand.
The text was constructed in the specific context of Brexit Britain in recent years. The UK voted to leave the European Union in 2016 and was implementing new stricter immigration policies under the Conservative government. At the same time, incidents of racism and hate crimes were rising. So the text responds directly to the political and social climate in the UK at that time.
The genre of the text is an advertising campaign using posters
Week3 - Production
This week we discuss about the relevance of studying production in media studies. From films to electronic devices, production helps us to understand how media involves labor.
Dominant ideology and practise qs for brexit and immigration
This document discusses several topics including whether society should respect the police, what a beautiful woman looks like, whether people should work to earn money, the best phone to have, ISIS, whether women should be protected and men be protective, the necessity of education in school, Americans, healthy eating, marriage versus being single, property ownership, thinness, dominant ideologies in media, how Brexit has been reported by established media, how politicians have been represented in Brexit coverage, techniques used by media to appeal to audiences in Brexit reporting, representation of migrants in media texts, and how audiences have responded to established media's Brexit coverage.
A levels audience
The target audience of Vogue magazine according to the socio-economic profiling model would be:
Groups A and B.
Vogue magazine targets senior managers, bankers, lawyers, doctors and other very well paid professionals (Group A), as well as middle management, teachers, and other fairly well paid professionals (Group B). It focuses on high fashion, luxury goods, celebrity culture and lifestyles associated with the upper classes. The expensive advertisements and aspirational content in Vogue would not appeal to lower income groups.
Week 1- 2
In this session we discussed what media is and how media studies made the basic communication model more complex.
Audience
This document discusses audience theory and research on audience composition and interpretation of media. It summarizes David Morley's study which found that social position influences how audiences make sense of TV programs, through dominant, negotiated, or oppositional readings. The document also outlines Christian Metz's work on how cinema satisfies desires for the ego, desire itself, and fetishism. It proposes that the target audience for a short film would be social groups A and B due to their appreciation for film festival styles.
Rep of Working Class Questions
This document contains 16 questions about how media representations impact and construct collective identity. Specifically, the questions address how media portrays different groups of people, the social implications of these portrayals, and whether media reflects or constructs collective identities. Responses would analyze the relationship between media and collective identity formation.
Case study collective identity
This case study document outlines requirements for an exam preparation case study on collective British youth identity as represented in various media. Students must analyze a medium such as TV, music videos, or news using concepts from theorists including Debord, Hebdige and Buckingham. The analysis should consider how the media represents British youth, how it creates a collective identity, and how contemporary representation compares to the past and implications. Students must also discuss the medium historically, contemporarily, and speculate about its future in representing British youth identity. The case study is due May 17th and will account for 50% of the exam grade.
G325 Section B Exam Essay
The document provides guidance for an essay on media representations of social groups. It includes prompts for discussing historical representations, comparing them to contemporary examples from fiction, non-fiction and self-representation. The document advises including theory from scholars like Stuart Hall and considering the social implications of representations like stereotyping and their impact on attitudes. It suggests examining the extent to which identity is increasingly "mediated" through various media and offering a prediction for the future of representations.
C identity
Collective identity of the working class is represented in media like films, TV shows, and online communities. Some argue this representation exploits or marginalizes the working class (Part 1). Others note audiences are active, not passive, in interpreting these representations and forming their own identities (Part 2). Future representation may include user-generated content, but the influence of media on collective identity is complex and impossible to precisely measure (Part 3).
AS media representation 4
The document discusses various audience theories and representations of social class and region in media. It describes the hypodermic, two-step flow, and uses and gratification audience theories. It then analyzes representations of different social classes like the working class, middle class, and upper class in media. Common stereotypes of different regions are also outlined, such as the Scottish being depicted as drinking alcohol and the English being portrayed as racist. Critics argue that media often justifies social inequalities and uses offensive language to vilify the underclass.
G325 a media theory and theorists_sectiona-
This document provides an overview of various media theorists that could be relevant for analyzing media productions and case studies. It emphasizes that students do not need to be experts in all the theories but should be able to apply a few theories to discuss their work. Theorists are categorized by areas of genre, narrative, representation, audience and media language. Students are advised to quote, summarize and comment on theories rather than fully explaining them.
#SoMeActivism
This document outlines a session on using social media to build coalitions and respond to racism on campus. The session aims to:
1) Share experiences of racism and oppression, consider social identities' influence on activism, and explore power dynamics in social justice movements.
2) Provide an overview of social media tools and how to engage them to build community and respond to oppression.
3) Develop strategies for meaningful engagement and accountability in social media activism.
Lesson 16 - Globalised world Representation of issues
This document discusses developing nations and provides context around terminology used to describe poorer countries. It notes that developing nations lack basic amenities like plumbing, clean water, education, healthcare, reliable electricity, and sanitation. Examples provided of developing nations include South Korea, India, and Bhutan. The document also introduces related terms like "Third World", "Global South", and "global development" in the context of how developed countries may provide aid to less developed countries through organizations like the UN and NGOs.

Post truth presentation 3
Post-truth refers to situations where appeals to emotion and personal belief have greater influence over public opinion than objective facts. Two examples are given: the £350 million per week claim made during the UK's Brexit referendum that was later admitted to be false, and the justification for the Iraq War being related to oil resources rather than terrorism. Audiences have responded to post-truth practices by expressing concerns through protests, questioning the validity of news sources, and losing trust in institutions.
Post truth presentation 2
Post-truth refers to circumstances where appeals to emotion and personal belief have greater influence over public opinion than objective facts. It occurs when news reports lack substantial factual evidence and instead gratify social and emotional needs by providing alternative viewpoints. Politicians like Nigel Farage have contributed to a post-truth environment by making demonstrably false claims, such as promising that £350 million per week spent on EU membership would go to the NHS if the UK left, and later admitting it was a mistake. Technology has disrupted truth by allowing audiences to consume media that supports their preexisting views rather than objective facts, and trust sources like Farage that provide emotionally gratifying viewpoints over substantiated reporting.

Post truth presentation1
A survey found that over 40% of U.S. adults failed to identify fake news stories and that Republicans were more likely to believe fake news than Democrats. The study also showed that those who consume the most news on social media were also more likely to incorrectly identify fake news stories compared to those who get their news from television, radio, or print sources.
Incorporating theory examples
This document provides sentence starters for incorporating communication theories into writing. Some examples include: reinforcing a specific theorist's idea with evidence; challenging a theory by presenting a counterargument; using an example to demonstrate how it fits a particular theory; showing how a theory affects different audiences; and suggesting how audiences actively engage with media in a way that challenges passive audience theories. The sentence starters are meant to help writers integrate theoretical frameworks into their analysis and arguments.

Examples are provided throughout to illustrate the referencing format.
Mock exam feedback
The document provides feedback on a mock exam, including possible mark bands and sample answers for three questions related to media studies. General feedback at the end emphasizes applying media theories and case studies from lessons to answers. For question 1 on contrasting communication techniques in advertisements, sample points discuss the use of intimate shots, diversity, and emotional connection in the Nexus ad, while the Bluefish ad encourages self-reflection through philosophical questions. Both aim to create intimacy, though through different techniques and messages. Students are advised to practice applying theories when analyzing media texts.
Male gaze theory 2016
Laura Mulvey developed the theory of the "male gaze" which argues that cinema and visual media are typically constructed from a masculine point of view that objectifies and sexualizes women for the pleasure of the male viewer. She identified two ways women are depicted: "voyeuristic", seen as sexual objects, and "fetishistic", seen as madonnas. Examples are given of Hollywood pin-ups like Marilyn Monroe being voyeuristic. The theory also holds that male viewers identify with powerful male protagonists who control the film's fantasy. Mulvey's theory was influential in explaining how media representation enforces patriarchal social norms.

Planning your essay
This document outlines essay plans for two potential essays on media topics.
The first essay plan discusses the phone hacking scandal at News of the World in 2011. It proposes examining how print newspapers have struggled with new technology and audience habits, leading News of the World to take risks to maintain circulation. The plan outlines paragraphs discussing the scandal's impact, use of superinjunctions, the role of regulators, and the Guardian's role in breaking the story.
The second essay plan compares reality shows like TOWIE, which is highly constructed, to more realistic shows like Gogglebox and 24 Hours in A&E. It proposes examining the genre expectations of audiences and pressures on broadcasters to compete and remain relevant through evolving
Prep for mock exam
Good exam answers include specific examples, are well structured using paragraphs and full sentences, and incorporate relevant media theory. Students should explore potential topics and examples for each question to choose strong case studies and texts that can be analyzed using appropriate regulations, contemporary issues, and theories. The focus of the questions is on media concepts using the provided texts, issues and debates bringing in outside examples, and wider contexts requiring analysis beyond just the texts. High scoring answers will thoroughly reference the texts, include a range of points, integrate the student's own opinions backed by evidence, and for some questions discuss different perspectives on an issue.
Prep for mock exam 2
The document provides feedback on a mock exam paper and tips for students. It summarizes that students generally demonstrated a good understanding of case studies and examples but needed to provide more detail. Time management was also an issue, with most only completing one question within the allotted time instead of two. Specific feedback and advice is given for each exam question to help students improve their answers and exam performance.

Intro to postmodernism
Postmodernism refers to contemporary culture after the modern era. It emerged in the 1980s as modernism was either ending, being rejected, or changing into a new order. Postmodernism questions objective truths and universal values. It is characterized by pastiche, parody, bricolage, and intertextuality. Pastiche imitates previous works positively, while parody aims to ridicule. Bricolage combines different media texts into new forms, like reality television. Intertextuality references other works within a text. Postmodern architecture, fashion, and food also hybridize styles and reference history.
Eval q 2
The document discusses how the author created synergy between a film trailer, film poster, and magazine cover through consistent design elements. Specifically, the author used the color yellow throughout to link themes of hope/happiness and deceit. A key image of the protagonist laying down thinking was featured in all three pieces to introduce her and the theme of depression. The same typography and inclusion of the film's release date, production company, and awards in each piece helped tie them together for marketing the film's release. The author believes these design choices successfully created cohesion between the ancillary texts.
Collective ID Thursday 28th April

Youth ppt
Youth are represented in the media in complex ways that both reflect and shape societal views. Historically, representations have dichotomized youth as either a "prosperous future" or a "culture of moral decline." More recently, films like Quadrophenia portray British youth subcultures of the 1960s in a realistic light, drawing on theories of how collective identities form through shared cultural texts. However, some representations may also promote the values of ruling classes and fix social divisions through the process of cultural hegemony described by Gramsci.
Ewrt 2 class 11 machiavelli
This document discusses different types of ambiguity that can occur in writing. It defines ambiguity as when a word, phrase, or sentence can have multiple possible interpretations, making the intended meaning unclear.

The document provides examples for each type and advises resolving ambiguity by clarifying intended meanings through context or rephrasing sentences. Overall, the document examines ambiguity as a potential source of confusion in writing and how clarity can be achieved.
Ewrt 2 class 11 machiavelli
The document discusses different types of ambiguity that can occur in writing. It defines ambiguity as occurring when a word, phrase, or sentence can have multiple possible interpretations and it is unclear which meaning is intended. Ambiguity can be caused by words with multiple meanings or structural elements in a sentence that allow for more than one grammatical reading. To avoid ambiguity, writers should make sure the intended meaning is clear from context or rephrase ambiguous sentences. Structural ambiguity can sometimes be resolved by restructuring the sentence. The overall document provides examples and explanations of different sources of ambiguity to help writers identify and address ambiguous elements in their own writing.
Representation theories

Research Essay Assignment (Final Draft)
Your last written assignment for this class is a
6 to 8-page, 1,500 to 1,800-word
research essay
on a current issue or enduring question of your choice.
You will use documented source material to support your essay’s thesis.
A research essay presents and develops a thesis supporting multiple sources of opinion. You stake out a subject narrow enough to be researched and you steep yourself in it. Then you formulate a thesis -- your own attitude or opinion on the subject -- and present it in a persuasive form, along with facts, opinions, and information that prove it true. You should use appeals and other methods to support your thesis, but you should also analyze each source you plan to use to support your thesis.
THE PARTS OF A RESEARCH ESSAY
There are two parts to a Research Essay:
The
text
(six or more pages and 1,500 to 1,800 words)
The
works cited page
(one or more pages)
RESEARCH ESSAY FORMAT
Much of the writing in your research essay comes from the work of other writers, and you must give proper credit by citing (mentioning) these sources in your paper. The art of citing is called documentation, which is required for any information falling into the following three categories:
Any judgment, opinion, speculation or theory that is not original (unless it is universally known and accepted).
Any fact or statistic open to dispute.
Any information provided by a specific observer, even by an expert in his or her field (for example, opinions of psychologists on child abuse).
QUOTATIONS
AND CITATIONS
You will use quotations to include information from your sources in your essay. For example, if you were quoting a
Newsweek
magazine article on the Virgin Mary by Kenneth L. Woodward, you could write:
Kenneth L. Woodward, in his article on the Virgin Mary, writes that "the 20th century has belonged to Mary" (49).
Or…..
According to Kenneth L. Woodward, the 20th century has "belonged to Mary" (49).
Or…..
Kenneth L. Woodward writes: "The 20th century has belonged to Mary" (49).
You will use
the MLA (Modern Languages Association) style
for parenthetical documentation to list your sources on your Works Cited page, which is the last page of your essay.
You must use
at least four sources
(one or more from each of the following categories) and list them on your works cited page:
one
book;
one
periodical (magazine, journal or newspaper) article;
one
website;
one “multimedia” source:
a film, video, DVD, painting, musical piece, etc.).
These sources should be listed in alphabetical order, by the author's last name. Your source listings for books should look like this: Author's last name, author's first name, title of book, name of publisher, and year of publication.
For example, if we were listing author Ba ...

Here are some comments on the students' discussions:
For Paul Chang's discussion:
Great analysis of the Nacirema rituals and how they differ from typical Western practices of caring for one's health. You make a good point about how portraying the rituals as religious makes them more acceptable within their culture, even if an outsider may view them as irrational. I also agree with your assessment of some of the biased language used in the original article - it's important to consider the cultural context in which it was written. Nice job breaking down the key aspects of the Nacirema rituals.
For Daniel Rivas' discussion:
Good point about what differentiates a ritual from other repeated actions - the incorporation of
Personal Study - Powerpoint
This document discusses several theories related to film analysis:
- The Auteur Theory suggests that directors have control over films and establish their own artistic style across multiple films. It originated from French film critics in the 1950s.
- Reception Theory by Stuart Hall says that media texts are encoded by producers with intended meanings and then decoded by audiences in various ways based on their own contexts and perspectives.
- The Hypodermic Needle Theory says that audiences will absorb all information from media at face value, but it has been largely discredited.
- The Male Gaze theory by Mulvey suggests that women are typically portrayed in a passive, sexually objectified way in films from a male point of view, though
Historical contemporary
This document provides guidance for a lesson that asks students to compare historical and contemporary representations of youth in various media.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Revise case studies
- 1. Revision • We are going to revisit the case studies that we have looked at so far and we are going to narrow down some examples to memorise for the exam. • You will make links from these examples to contemporary media issues, media language and theory. • This will be presented as a poster.
- 2. Look at the article and highlight two or three quotes or examples from the text that you think are significant and that we can use to make links to: -Key concepts • Genre • Representation • Audience • Institutions • Narrative -Theory -Contemporary issues
- 3. ‘These migrants are like cockroaches…’ ‘Rescue Boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants’ ‘do I feel pity? Only for the British drivers…’
- 4. • Next to an article about Campaign ‘Operation Black Vote’ with a large, close up image of Sol Campbell promoting the campaign with his face painted white.Q: Do you think that this positioning within the pages of the Sun was deliberate?
- 6. When writing in the exam: Katie Hopkins wrote an insensitive article on the Calais migrant crisis in the Sun newspaper... The provocative headline ‘Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants’ appeals to the 50 and over, white, male working class demographic. The use of military language implies a hard line approach to the problem. This reinforces the Sun’s ideologies of Britain, glorifying the war era as possibly experienced by the older target audience and appealing to their right wing political ideologies.
- 7. • Choose two or three of the strongest resources that you have explored for that case study. Consider examples from conflicting points of view, different producers (established/independent etc) • In your group, narrow the resources down to one or two pieces of evidence per media text. • Annotate and explain how this conforms to or challenges theory, media language, key concepts and contemporary media issues
- 8. • Lee Rigby • Migration • Brexit • Young female identity • Inauguration • Women’s march • Post truth
