1) The Factsheet discusses how identity is a complex subject. What does it suggest defines our identity?  form the fact sheet it states that identity is very complex subject. due to the way we define yourself and from our own personal perspective of how we see the media which ultimately suggest why we see media in a different way but also why we all construct different die it states within the fact sheet "Audiences have always made choices in their media viewing and reading. These choices made are often based on using the media to help them define their identities and to find other people who share their ideas and values." this therefore could ultimately be the factor to consider when looking over the different types of identity structures within the media which is the overall factor to consider when audience pick and chose what media content the wish to read and view which is over deiced upon their own personal values.     2) Complete the task on page 2: suggest me

"Some theorists, such as Aisha Harris, have argued that  social media play a negative role in the construction of  black identities." it is evident that audience are easily manipulated now than ever through Social  media   overall  identities. She argues that the rise of social media has  created a culture wherein black people are often subject to  a process of ‘memeification’. On the other hand we can also see that the black community can be closely linked to  ‘humour’. Harris believes that this process  is an unconscious reflection of a deep-rooted desire to  see black people perform and entertain, this theorist argues that Black identity's and dominant attitudes  towards blackness are reinforced.

You'll find the article  in our Media Magazine archive here . 1) Summarise the questions in the first two sub-headings: What is networked feminism? Why is it a problem? Networked feminism  is a phenomenon that can be described as the online mobilization and coordination of  feminists  in response to perceived sexist, misogynistic, racist, and other discriminatory acts against minority groups. 2) What are the four waves of feminism? Do you agree that we are in a fourth wave ‘networked feminism’?  The types of waves that are apart of this movement are as stated on the guardian This movement follows the first-wave campaign for votes for women, which reached its height 100 years ago, the second wave women's liberation movement that blazed through the 1970s and 80s, and the third wave declared by Rebecca Walker, Alice Walker's daughter, and others, in the early 1990s.

1) What are the two texts the article focuses on? Pan Am, first broadcast on ABC in 2011, is a period drama set in the early Sixties focusing on the lives of pilots and stewardesses working for the Pan American World Airline. it states within the magazine that "it was the promo for the new series, Pan Am aired on BBC 2 using destiny child.  within in the  2) What examples are provided from the two texts of the 'male gaze' (Mulvey)? within the magazine cover    Pan Am stewardesses are highly constructed and mediated, an “image whose purpose is to be admired and aspired to by women by showing these images its also influencing them to be like the same and follow these representations. on the other hand this is  an enjoyment for the male Audience which suggest that this is what they see in women and they have to live up to these expectations. furthermore as this is  visually enjoyed by men. which suggest and shows that the females where in the cover as the preferred reader

1) To what extent do you agree with Alain de Botton's views on the News? I do agree with Alain de Botton in terms of news being bias, where news don't have views themselves, as they are feeding us the information, we as the audience as well as the news organisation should be able to make judgements so we can come up with conclusions of the story they say. Alain de Botton quoted "neutrality is impossible" news is unbalanced. News channels only just explain what has happened in today world but don't really go in deeper, explaining their views and concluding what should happen next but instead they just feed us the news and move on, which in my view is a problem. Furthermore, Alain de Botton said that there is a lot of excess in news, theres too much news which makes it harder to know the priorities of what news we, as the audience should take in, through all this excess news, we have become less political. News distracts as all from the important problems that ar

1) Why did Laura Bates start the Everyday Sexism project? Say as much or as little as you like, use your real name or a pseudonym – it's up to you. By sharing your story you're showing the world that  sexism does  exist, it is faced by women  everyday  and it is a valid problem to discuss. Therefore she has given the consumer to express their feeling of what is happening to them on a daily basis.  2) How does the Everyday Sexism project link to the concept of post-feminism? Is feminism still required in western societies? overall from Laura Bates its evident that consumers have been discriminated; she suggest on the Guardian that  "Well, this is weird. With any other discrimination, people do not respond by saying: 'Oh, it's not that big a deal'. People don't say: 'Come on, it was only a little bit of racism in the workplace.'" Sexual harassment, if it is serious enough to amount to an assault in the workplace, can be a criminal offence.   T

WWW- Much better organisation of ideas and a real effort to use some theorise and evidence to answer the question pluralist, citizen journalism, producers ect.  EBI- your poor written English really does make your arguments hard to follow. There needs to be a clear, concise topic sentence arguing a point in relation to the question for each paragraph. Good referring theory but your lacking examples and key quotes from our list of possible examples/ references and viewpoints to include/ evaluate.           2) Read through the  mark scheme  (go to the last two pages of the document - Section B New/digital media).
