NDM News: end-of-term indexes

We have learned a huge amount this term on news and new/digital media - alongside plenty of crucial A2 Media theory. 

We now need to update our index posts for both the news case study and our weekly new/digital news stories to ensure we are up-to-date with everything. After Christmas, you will have your January assessment where we'll be able to see the progress you are making towards the vital MEST3 exam in the summer.  

NDM News index

In today's lesson you need to create an index of all of your work for New/Digital Media and News. 

This process is an excellent start to your revision for the MEST3 Section B January assessment (not to mention the exam in the summer) and will also highlight if you've missed anything through absence or trips. Your index should include the following:

1) Institution: the impact of Google on the newspaper industry
2) Ofcom report: how news consumption has changed
3) Baseline assessment: learner response
4) The future of newspapers: Build The Wall analysis
5) The decline of newspapers: the effect of online technology
6) The decline of newspapers: Media Magazine case studies
7) The future of journalism: John Oliver and Clay Shirky
8) Citizen journalism and hyper-reality
9) Galtung & Ruge: News Values
10) Marxism & Pluralism: MM article ('Web 2.0: Participation or Hegemony')
11) Marxism & Pluralism: Alain de Botton on the News
12) NDM News: full Section B essay on blog ('consumption and production')
13) Globalisation: MM article and Factsheet questions
14) Globalisation and fake news: articles and questions
15) News on the Tweet: Newsworks report
16) A case study in news and social media - Factsheet questions
17) Blog essay feedback and learner response

For your index, the text should link to YOUR corresponding blogpost so you can access your work on each aspect of the case study quickly and easily. This also means you if you have missed anything you can catch up with the work and notes and won't underperform in the assessment due to gaps in your knowledge.



NDM story index

You also need to update your separate index of ALL of your NDM stories so far. This homework was originally set on Monday 11 September which means you should have a minimum of 26 stories in your index this week. 

Your index should have the story number (starting with your first story back in September as #1), the headline and a link to YOUR blog post for that story - guidance for the original task from September (with top-level examples from previous years) is here.

Remember, every story you post needs to be on a separate blogpost and the link in the index should go to YOUR blog post on that story, not the original article itself.

If you're missing a couple of stories, go back through our Twitter feed for links to good new/digital media stories from the last few weeks. Remember, we do this homework for you every week!

Index due date: anything you don't complete in the lesson needs to be posted by your last lesson before Christmas.
