13C Cover Work 12/12/12

Stay in DF07/DF06. Mr Babu will register/supervise you.

Read the following four articles that all appeared in the last few days. Summarise the key points on your blogs (in your own words) and write a paragraph after each one outlining your view on the story...


News Corp's publishing arm to focus on losses at Times and Sunday Times: More integration of titles difficult under terms that Rupert Murdoch agreed for Times Newspapers in 1981

Sunday Times's circulation falls below 900,000 for the first time: Circulation at News International's newspaper down by just under 1% as all Sunday titles record a drop in sales

UK newspaper advertising facing bleak forecast for 2013: National titles to record 9% decline with display revenue falling below £1bn for the first time

The ups, downs and ups of BBC News online: It's 15 years since the BBC News website launched. At the time, in 1997, there were fewer than eight million people online in the UK, a figure which has mushroomed to more than 50 million today


Complete this for homework, please.


Also, make sure you've completed all your homework from last week: NewsCorp Research and a media story.

Remember to embed your PowerPoints to your blogs. Go to Google Drive for this (you'll need to sign in with your Gmail/Blogger account): Upload your presentation to Google Drive; Click on the PowerPoint once done; Click 'share' (top right); Change who has access to 'anyone on the internet'; Click 'file' and then copy the 'embed link'; Paste this link in a blog posting, entitled 'NewsCorp Research'

For the assessed presentations you'll be doing on Friday, please try to include some of the information from the articles you've read today - you get more marks in the exam for up-to-date examples.
