Please read this with reference to your Murdoch research. I suggest you create a media folder and copy and paste these sorts of stories with some of your own comments.

Great start - all of you who have posted media stories this summer. I am looking forward to our lessons. Bring a notebook with you to class - a spiro bound reporters' style is fine. You will also find a memory stick useful for when you are doing presentations to the group.

A2 group - get your research and your essays onto your blogs! Aswell as researching the address story that I emailed you about, watch the 'Newswatch' report that came from Malta and research the topic on social news. Do not forget the tabloid and broadsheet research; you need hard facts to back up your opinions. Be prepared to do a presentation on your papers.

AS Media Students - Please look at the big media story about U2s Youtube gig. Lots of media issues including production, marketing, distribution and exchange and convergence... Also note interview with Lily Allen at the Q awards re illegal downloading.

Please note the plans to make The Evening Standard FREE from later this month. The 50p charge will be dropped and it is projected that circulation will double. What are the implications?
