Today we intend to help you start off on the right foot by providing a detailed introduction to
[1] what media studies is [sort of]
[2]why we study it
[3] how we will be studying it here this year.
You will need to read through the Student Handbook with special emphasis on the section Key Concepts in Media which will form the backbone of all of the lessons this year and of your coursework portfolio. The PowerPoint will emphasise some of the issues that underline the importance of the concepts and how we will go about applying them to analysis of commercial media products and to our own work.
You will also be introduced to the media diary – a log of your own personal media consumption that you will be required to complete for a period of 1 week which will then form the basis of lessons 6 and 7.
HOMEWORK:
Create your media studies blog [using blogger] and email the link to Media staff
