The Tuesday session asked students to consider a Section B question and complete this question for homework.
'WE STAND FOR A SINGLE INTERNET WHERE ALL OF HUMANITY HAS EQUAL ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE AND IDEAS'.
DOES YOUR CASE STUDY SUGGEST THAT NEW AND DIGITAL MEDIA HAVE MADE A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION TO HUMANITY?
The Friday session considered the media issues and debates that link to the media reporting of the Hillsborough disaster and the reporting of the events earlier in the week. This is a MASSIVE MEDIA MOMENT and students are expected to be ware of why this moment should be of interest to a media student. THE ACTIONS OF THE SUN NEWSPAPER ARE A DISGRACE. Who is Kelvin McKenzie? Why was the front page of the Sun newspaper in 1989 so painful for the people of Liverpool? How were the people of the city represented? If mobile phones had been available in 1989, would the families have had to wait so long for justice?
The second section of the session considered the question:
Should the media be regulated?
Students MUST be able to answer this question as they drift towards Section A of the exam. Students need to be able to support their arguments with specific textual reference.

CONSIDER REGULATION AS A UK AND GLOBAL ISSUE!! Will media regulation in Saudi Arabia differ from regulation in the UK? If so...why?
Banned video games? Regulated films?
It took me 10 minutes to find these resources. I expect students to be finding their own texts to illustrate their response to the question about media regulation.
The exam demands evidence of students offering evidence of independent study and critical autonomy when evaluating media issues and debates.
