lesson 3 - Identifying Parts of a Whole.pptx
This document discusses identifying parts of a whole, emerging patterns in trends, and differentiating relationships between causes and consequences. It provides examples of how microtrends can become macrotrends and megatrends over time. The key points are:
1. Trends are formed from a combination of parts and influence each other over time. Microtrends can grow into megatrends that affect large groups for long periods.
2. Tools for identifying emerging patterns in trends include documentation, archiving, analysis, and presentation of findings. Analysis looks for repetitive behaviors and patterns.
3. There is a relationship between causes and consequences - a cause brings about a consequence, and identifying this relationship helps understand the development of trends

The document discusses different approaches to thinking and decision making. It addresses Aristotle's view of humans as rational animals and Descartes' statement "I think therefore I am." The document also discusses strategic analysis, which involves identifying problems, analyzing causes, generating solutions, implementing plans, and reflecting on outcomes. Intuitive thinking relies on instinct, quick judgments, prior knowledge and experience for perceiving situations that require immediate action. The document suggests that both strategic analysis and intuitive thinking are important and practicing both can help with making decisions.Trends, Networks, and Critical- Lesson 1. pptx.pptx
This document discusses trends, fads, and the process of identifying trends. It provides definitions of trends and fads, noting that trends have longer duration and cultural basis, while fads are short-lived enthusiasms confined to segments of society. The document outlines the elements and characteristics of trends, including their cultural roots and potential to increase and decrease over time. It also describes the four stages in the process of identifying a trend: the fringe stage where innovative ideas emerge, the trendy stage where awareness grows, and the mainstream stage where popularity peaks.
Medium is the message marshall mc luhan
The document discusses Marshall McLuhan's concept that "the medium is the message." It provides explanations of three key concepts from McLuhan's work: medium, content, and etherealization. It also includes quotes from McLuhan and analyzes the significance of the #MeToo hashtag and movement as an example artifact. The document aims to help students understand McLuhan's influential ideas about how the channels of communication themselves can shape society and human interaction.
Cultivation Theory
Cultivation theory posits that heavy television viewing shapes viewers' perceptions of the world by presenting an exaggerated view of violence. Specifically, it suggests that heavy viewers come to see the world as a scary place, overestimate crime rates, and feel less safe. The theory also argues that television has become society's dominant storyteller and influences viewers through constant exposure to the same portrayals, especially of marginalized groups as more likely to be victims of violence.
Massive Open Online Content & Wearable Technology
1. Current trends in media and information such as social media, online video, and wearable technology provide both opportunities and challenges for businesses and individuals. They allow lower-cost marketing but can also be addictive and expose personal information.
2. Writers and bloggers can more easily connect with clients and share expertise online, growing their networks, but social media also risks exposing children to inappropriate content.
3. While new technologies remove barriers to sharing ideas, overuse can divert focus from tasks and lower motivation, especially in teenagers.
Making sense of media innovation
This document outlines a three-step approach to analyzing and developing media innovations: 1) Identify what is changing in terms of products, processes, ownership, user roles, and ideas of media. 2) Determine the degree of novelty from doing better to doing different. 3) Understand key influences on innovation including media institutional factors, technological developments, and sociocultural factors. The document provides examples of different types of innovations and influences to consider in the three-step process.

Trends week 1, Q1.pptx
This document defines and compares trends and fads. It explains that trends are long-lasting patterns of change while fads are short-lived crazes. Trends can be seen across micro, macro, mega, and giga levels and affect multiple industries, while fads are transient and industry-specific. Key elements that make up a trend include addressing basic human needs, driving change through innovation, and having characteristics like consistency, ability to be worn, and simplicity. Spotting trends involves analyzing patterns of change over time across various dimensions like socio-cultural, economic, and political factors.
A Fragmented Audience
The document discusses how audiences for traditional media like television, radio, newspapers, and magazines have fragmented over time as people now have more options for how and where to consume media. Audience sizes for individual media outlets have shrunk significantly, while the total population has grown. This fragmentation poses challenges for large media institutions and advertisers who can no longer reach a single captive mass audience. However, new forms of media like YouTube, video games, and social media have emerged and audiences now expect more interactivity from brands online.
Public opinion and social media
Public opinion and social media are dynamic and interconnected. Public opinion can now form quickly online through social media platforms, where many individuals and groups contribute to discussing issues. Companies must monitor social media conversations to understand emerging topics and public sentiment. While social media allows more open participation, it also presents reputation risks if an organization is unable to engage constructively or respond appropriately to feedback. Monitoring social media is an ongoing process that requires resources to analyze conversations and measure impact over time.
Audience theory
The document discusses several theories of audience reception of media, beginning with the hypodermic syringe theory which views audiences as passive receivers of media messages. It then discusses the uses and gratifications model which sees audiences as active in selecting media to fulfill needs. Finally, it discusses Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding theory of preferred, negotiated, and oppositional readings and Laura Mulvey's male gaze theory of how women are portrayed for the male viewer's pleasure in many films.

Agenda Setting Theory.
The document discusses agenda setting theory in communication. It was developed in 1972 by Dr. Max McCombs and Dr. Donald Shaw based on the 1968 US presidential election. The core assumption of agenda setting theory is that media influences public perception of what issues are important by how frequently and prominently they cover certain issues. While media may not reflect reality directly, it filters and shapes public perception of what issues are salient. The theory focuses on how media sets the agenda for what the public thinks about through selection, emphasis, and framing of issues.
News basics
The document discusses what constitutes news and factors that determine newsworthiness. It notes that news must be factual, timely, interesting to readers, involve prominent people or events, have human impact, and include conflict or drama. It also distinguishes between "hard news" about important issues and "soft news" that entertains. Additionally, it discusses how different audiences and media outlets have varying views on what is considered news.

Knowledge gap theory
The Knowledge Gap Hypothesis proposes that as the mass media disseminates information to a social system, those with higher socioeconomic status will acquire and understand the information faster and more thoroughly than those with lower socioeconomic status, widening the gap in knowledge between the two groups. The hypothesis was first proposed in 1970 and suggests this gap is more likely to occur on topics of general interest covered by mass media, like public affairs and science, rather than more specialized topics. Factors that can contribute to the knowledge gap include differences in communication skills, previous knowledge, social contacts, and how the mass media system is oriented.
Interpretive dynamics of culture
-The essence of society as interpretive community
-theoretical perspectives regarding the development of society
Definition of Trends
The document discusses trends and patterns in the 21st century. It asks students to analyze pictures showing trends, define the concept of a trend, and identify useful trends. Students are tasked with developing a concept map about trends and answering true-or-false questions to assess their understanding of trends, such as recognizing that following wireless WiFi is a technology trend but violating rules to follow trends is not acceptable.
Uses and gratification theory-presentation
The document discusses uses and gratification theory (U&G theory), which states that audiences actively engage with media to fulfill certain needs rather than media having a passive influence. It provides the historical background of U&G theory from the 1920s onward and outlines key reasons for media use including information, personal identity, entertainment, integration and social interaction. It also discusses how U&G theory remains relevant today due to concepts like interactivity and asynchroneity and the development of new media.
LESSON 2- EXPLAIN THE PROCESS ON HOW TO SPOT A TREND.pptx
Spotting trends involves anticipating change, using your senses to see changes coming, and distinguishing between short-term fads and long-lasting trends. There are five ways to spot and capitalize on trends: 1) anticipate that change is constant, 2) actively look for changes coming through your senses, 3) identify big problems that many customers will pay to solve, 4) ensure any solutions you envision can realistically be provided, and 5) create a competitive advantage by having the courage to act on opportunities you see.
Lesson 4 - Media Audiences
Audiences are important for media organizations to make profits through advertising or subscriptions. New technologies have impacted traditional media by giving audiences more options to access media in different ways. Media institutions make money through subscription fees or advertising targeting mass audiences or niche groups. Audiences can be passive, directly accepting media messages, or active in interpreting messages in personally meaningful ways based on their needs and experiences.
Spiral of silence
The Spiral of Silence theory, proposed by Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann, explains that people are less likely to express opinions that are in the minority for fear of isolation. They have a sense of the prevailing public opinion and remain silent if their views diverge from the majority to avoid social isolation and reprisal. Over time, as minority opinions are suppressed, the majority view dominates public discourse in a "spiral" effect.
Globalisation in media
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnection of countries through trade, communication and culture. Advances in transportation and telecommunication infrastructure, particularly the internet, have facilitated the globalization process. Globalization in the film industry has led Hollywood films to dominate box offices worldwide, though some local film industries have persisted. However, critics argue that globalization does not necessarily lead to complete cultural homogenization, as local audiences interpret foreign media through the lens of their own culture.

AUDIO Initial ideas
A student has researched potential stories for an audio project and settled on telling an original story set within the lore of Slenderman. The student's idea is for a found cassette tape the listener discovers while walking through the woods being chased by Slenderman. The tape would start out scratchy and contain a voice describing being trapped in the woods with the tall faceless man chasing them. Sound effects of the woods and a final scare of Slenderman's sound would be included.

24 news cycle
CNN started the 24-hour news cycle in 1980 which changed news delivery across various mediums. Traditionally, newspapers had early and late editions while TV and radio had scheduled news broadcasts throughout the day. Now, all mediums from newspapers to internet provide near constant news coverage to fill 24-hour cycles, with breaking updates increasingly shared over Twitter. This non-stop news environment has led outlets to cover more international stories to occupy airtime and maintain audiences, though the drive for profits remains unchanged.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

Types of news story leads
- 1. Types of News Story Leads Modified from npr.org
- 2. News Leads • There are many types of news story leads. In the following slides we will explore several of the more popular ones.
- 3. Straight Lead • Just the facts…the straight lead relies on the 5W’s and one H (usually). • Example: “The European Parliament voted Tuesday to ratify the landmark Paris climate accord, paving the way for the international plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions to become binding as soon as the end of this week.”
- 4. Anecdotal Lead • The anecdotal lead uses a “short”, interesting and sometimes amusing story to hook the reader and tease what the story is about. • Example: Rosanne Murphy was growing more agitated as she sank deeper into Alzheimer’s disease. Unable to bathe, dress, or feed herself, she would call her daughter in a panic many nights at bedtime, not remembering where she was. It was time, her daughter, Alison Weingartner, realized - time for her mother, then 80, to move to a nursing home.
- 5. Descriptive lead • The Descriptive lead uses sensory language to describe the scene or subject of the story. • Example: The night-vision image in the rescue helicopter showed a downed pilot in a life raft bobbing 35 miles from the Atlantic shoreline, but when Brian Fogle got ready to plunge down to him, the midnight sky and sea melded into inky blackness. The hard part was not being able to see anything,” Fogle said. And then he stepped out that door and slid down a line into the rolling dark ocean.
- 6. Zinger Lead • A good Zinger lead should make a reader raise his/her eyebrows and mutter to him/herself “what’s this about”? • Example: “His last meal was worth $30,000 and it killed him.”
