My main blogs are listed at igsmediablogs.blogspot.co.uk ... As well as summaries of general classwork, and links to key resources used, I'll try to suggest some further readings as we go. Any comments or suggestions are welcomed, whether useful resources you've discovered or thoughts leading off from class work. Each and every one of you have a range of cultural reference points that I won't have - so please share them!
I highly commend the web page 'Nine top tips for Media students'. From the people behind theory.org.uk, its worth a read!

IPSO task
TASK: In the 5:10 it takes this video to play, make brief notes on examples of a Chomskian concept that this video illustrates and the song lyrics specifically mention...
This is a case where the terminology essentially is the EAA, or at least a starting point for it. Use one of the following to find relevant EXamples (the egs I give use the Daily Mail and Ed Miliband; you don't have to use these):
- You could try searches such as '2015 daily mail miliband' (the 2015 gets recent results: eg), 'daily mail miliband press regulation' etc (what specifically did the Mail do to try to discredit 'Red Ed' Miliband when he was pushing for a tough press regulator?);
- You could gamble on a quick browse of the Daily Mail, the most likely source...
