The impact of Google

1) Why has Google led to the decline of the newspaper industry? it has overall had a decline in newspapers because of the fact that google now offer live newspapers which can be seen online meaning that paper ones are becoming more obsolete.

2) Find a statistic from the article that illustrates the decline of traditional news media.in 2014, people spent 110 minutes a day online, up from just 60 minutes in 2010. Meanwhile traditional media usage, i.e. TV, newspapers, magazines, radio and cinema declined from 402 to 376 minutes a day. 
While television consumption fell by just 6% between 2010 and 2014, the print industry is suffering most from the new digital competition. Newspaper and magazine consumption dropped by 26% and 19%, respectively, since 2010 and is expected to see further declines in the next few years.

3) Looking at the graph featured in the article, what period has seen the steepest decline in newspaper advertising revenue? This has overall happen and had the most biggest decline in 2014.  

4) Do you personally think Google is to blame for newspapers closing and journalists losing their jobs? Why? not at all because i find that the major institutions are being uploaded to the internet leading them to see a decline; overall means that they cant blame google.  

5) Read the comments below the article. Pick one comment you agree with and one you disagree with and explain your response to the comments in detail.

Identities: Introduction to Feminism

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

NDM: the effect of online technology on newspapers

1 ) Do you agree with James Murdoch that the BBC should not be allowed to provide free news online? In my opinion i think that it should be free online because as the audience we can gain access to the news with our smartphones for example which means that if BBC was not free consumers are going to be able to access new through other websites.   2) Read  this blog on the Times paywall three years on  (note this is the UK Times - not the New York Times!) 3) Was Rupert Murdoch right to put his news content (The Times, The Sunday Times) behind a paywall?  within the article it sates " As I wrote on The science of subscriptions "  in December, you only reach profit through subscriptions when you've deducted the cost of acquiring and retaining users. Three years on, The Times should be starting to see the benefits of their toil now." 4) Choose two comments from below the Times paywall article - one that argues in favour of the paywall and one that argues against.

Identities and the Media: Post-colonialism & Orientalism

1) Watch the opening of Yasmin (2004) again. Does it offer a positive or negative view of British Muslims? To what extent does it reinforce or challenge Edward Said's theory of Orientalism - that the west is superior to the exotic or uncivilised east?  Orientalism is a contrapuntal reading of imperial discourse about the non-Western Other which can be seen through out the opening of "Yasmin" and has within this opening its shows all the different element's of the three theorist; for example the opening we greeted with a eastern estate. Which shows that the western society have blocked them out within this village altogether.    2) Summarise the three theorists we have looked at this week: Alvarado, Fanon and Said. in summery when compared with theorist it shows that the Muslim society in this clip are weaker; firstly this could be due to the fact that they are in a non-Muslim territory which is subverting from traditional British roots. So because of this it has mea
