We are very lucky to have a Dr Sumaya Alnahed, a lecturer in journalism at the University of West London, visiting us to give a lecture on the impact of new and digital media on the news industry.
The talk will take place on Wednesday in the Lecture Theatre during periods 3&4.
The impact of new/digital media on News is the Year 13 exam topic so it is essential for all A Level Media students.
The talk will focus mainly on the changing nature of news as a result of new technology and social media. Dr Alnahed is the course leader for the BA (Hons) Broadcast Journalism degree at UWL and her doctoral research compared the news agendas of Al Jazeera and the BBC. Some of her other research interests include the influence of geopolitics on news production, the political economy of news media and Arab media.
This is a brilliant opportunity to hear a university-level lecture just weeks before your final exams. It is open to all A Level students so do encourage Economics, Politics and Business students who are free to join us in the Lecture Theatre.
Make sure you are there!

Revision: MEST1 mock exam
Your full MEST1 mock exam is next week on Wednesday 27 April.
We've collectively produced some stunning coursework over the last few months and now we need to match that top-grade performance in the exam.
This mock exam will be in your normal Media lesson time so you will not have to miss any other lesson. Make sure you attend ALL lessons before and after your Media exam - I do not expect to hear from any colleagues with reports of truancy or lateness.
However, due to the two hour running time of the exam you may miss some of your break or lunch - but it WILL be worth it in the long run!
You need to be revising EVERYTHING you've learned in Media this year. These PowerPoints may help you:
Film Language unit
MIGRAIN Introduction to Media unit
MEST1 Section B - Film Industry / Ill Manors unit
Remember to look closely over your feedback and learner responses for previous MEST1-style assessments. You need to make sure you acting on your feedback and improving key aspects of your exam performance. And remember the most important thing for BOTH Section A and Section B:
READ AND ANSWER THE QUESTION!
Good luck with your revision - this is your last formal practice before the real thing next month. Take it seriously!
