Your First Task - start a blog

Welcome to media studies!


A blog is how you will present most of your work to me.


It gets rid of the need for all that pesky paper... don't get me wrong, paper has a time and a place, but for research, and later for your coursework, a blog is better... you can add hyperlinks and embed Youtube and other cool stuff.


So....


  1. You'll need a Google account (a @gmail.com email address) - if you don't have one, set one up.
  2. Go to Blogger and create a blog which features your name in the title, eg Joe Bloggs Media
  3. There are options to customise your blog, but don't get carried away now - you can do that later.
  4. Email me the blog address (eg http://joebloggsmedia.blogspot.com/) to this address:

When you've done that you are ready to make your first post...

Using the notes you took earlier in the lesson write a blog post on the key concepts of media studies.
  1. What are they?
  2. What does each key concept refer to, what does it mean?
  3. How does the exam go about testing your knowledge of each concept?
