THE GENIUS OF CHARLIE BROOKER.

I have often mentioned Charlie Brooker in my lessons and here is a link that i post in the hope that all my students will use this You Tube link to watch ALL the clips that relate to Charlie Brooker's 'Screenwipe' and 'Newswipe'. Brooker also explores the video game industry in his 'Gameswipe.'

Brooker deconstructs the media in an irreverent and precise manner and all media students should be aware of his work. Brooker's bullshit detector is mighty. The clip below provides a typical example of Brooker's intelligent and ironic media analysis and will hopefully encourage a more detailed exploration of all things Charlie Brooker.

CHARLIE BROOKER IS ESSENTIAL VIEWING FOR ALL STUDENTS. YES...EVEN BUSINESS STUDIES AND GEOGRAPHY STUDENTS.
