Today's session considered the Section B essay that we will be completing next week that is concerned with new digital media empowering the audience due to the increased access to different VIEWS and VALUES. This is a big essay because it deals with one of the central issues in contemporary media. This being the idea that mainstream media ideology has had its influence diluted by the explosion of non-mainstream media that have used new platforms such as YOU TUBE to access large audiences.
The rest of the session considered the content of two films from the recent American Presidential campaign.
