12th march lesson with barney




today in barneys session, we discussed ways in which our drafts of the articles would be beneficial to students for the exam. he wrote up 6 different things to think about that would be used to answer question 2 of the exam for A2 media. the six different things were:

media in the online age


global media


postmodern


we media and democracy


media and collective ID


contemporary media regulation


these are all things that will help us to answer the question in the exam. therefore our articles, if they're going to be of any use to A2 students, need to express some of these views. barney asked us to see which ones were in our articles. we then put them in order from 1 to 6. 1 being it's visible in the article to 6 being its not very visible.

my order was:


global media


media in the online age


postmodern


we media and democracy


media and collective ID


contemporary media regulation





my reasonings were simple. global media was first because i'd talked a lot about wikipedia's intention to have the sum of all human knowledge to be available to everyone globally. media in the online age was 2nd because wikipedia has revolutionized the way people find information. postmodern was 3rd because wikipedia is a play on an old idea, the encyclopeadia. we media was 4th because wikipedia is a self generated site made by the people for the people. media and collective identity was 5th because anyone can write an article about anyone on wikipedia but i hadn't talked a lot about this. the last one i hadn't talked about much at all.


barney said that 5 out of 6 wasn't bad at all and that there might have been things included in my article that i didn't realise. he said that it was a worthy article that is beneficial to students.
