Audience theory Task

Image
1) Read this  Mail Online article about the effects of videogames . How does this article link to the hypodermic needle model?  The article published by mail online (a media outlet apart of the daily mail) is heavily linked with the hypodermic needle theory mainly due to the fact that the article adds to the belief that video games are linked to aggression, the way the article has been written would suggest to parents that allowing their child to play such games could lead to them being aggressive when they're older 2) How does coverage of the Talk Talk hacking case (see Daily Mail front page below) link to the hypodermic needle model?

Representing ourselves: blog task

1) Read the article and summarise each section in one sentence, starting with the section 'Who are you?' Who are you?: With most things we do, we try to create a perception of ourselves, whether it be online or in person. I think, therefore I am: In the past we were constricted to multiple different social aspects to define who we are as people and our social roles. But with the development of the digital age we all have a voice and oppurtunity to become something more. The rise of the individual: In the second half of the 20th century people began to try and be more individual and to be unique. Advertisers took advantage of this mindset and create advertisements that would state their products could help people find and select their individuality. Branding and Lifestyle: In the 70's and 80's the importance of brands began to rise, this led to producers to sell a perosnality they associated with that brand. Who will we be ?: Due to the rise of th
