This aim of this session was to introduce issues relating to the BGS Cross-Media Study. Class discussion explored issues relating to the Audience/Producer debate and considered whether the texts in the Cross-Media Study are examples of 'dumbing down'. Students considered how the E-Media attached to Man On Wire, Exit Through The Gift Shop, The Secret Millionaire and Educating Essex is used by the institution to access and engage the audience. Class discussion was excellent. Well done media people.
