The more media terminology you include in the exam (all the terms covered in this book) the more marks you will get, so keep testing/re-testing yourself on what's in here...
And here is a checklist of the media Issues/Debates and Theories that the specification says you need to know (the AQA textbook has more detailed explanations/examples of all of these)...
Issues/Debates
- Representation and stereotyping
- Media effects
- Reality TV
- News Values
- Moral Panics
- Post 9/11 and the media
- Ownership and control
- Regulation and censorship
- Media technology and the digital revolution – changing technologies in the 21st century
- The effect of globalisation on the media
Theories
- Semiotics
- Structuralism and post-structuralism
- Postmodernism and its critiques
- Gender and ethnicity
- Marxism and hegemony
- Liberal Pluralism
- Colonialism and Post-colonialism
- Audience theories
- Genre theories
...make sure you have some keywords/theorists for each one that you can apply to whichever texts appear in Section A, or in response to typical Section B questions.
