The aim of this session was to continue to explore issues relating to the Cross-Media Study. Discussion considered the application of media theory to the narrative content of the film documentary Searching For Sugar Man and then examined the content of the film's e-media. It is important that students consider how print media and e-media is used to promote a media product. Sorry about The Secret Millionaire folks. I'll try again on Tuesday.
HOMEWORK: Students need to indulge in some research. On Tuesday we will be discussing how the audience benefits from the content of e-media. Does e-media benefit audience or producer?

We are moving towards our first Cross-Media Study essay so it is important the students prepare by attempting some independent research. Students need to consider:
- What does the e-media offer the audience?
- Is the use of social media just a promotional tool rather than an objective platform?
- How does the Channel Four e-media allow this institution to access its broadcasting remit?
- How might an audience use our media texts? Consider how media theory can be applied to our key texts.
