Group project meeting 1.

Today our group for PB4 met up to brainstorm, and work out exactly what we were going to do for our assignment. Through a soft-drink fuelled discussion, we finally settled on looking at news media, and how the evolution of media technologies has impacted the way that news is spread. This leads into further discussions of bias, orientalism, propaganda, social action, etc, which we will narrow down our focus on in our research throughout the week.

Overall it was quite a good discussion, and we were able to tell each other if a particular idea wasn’t good without any tension, often using the idea as a springboard to work out further ideas, which is really important for effective group work, as group dynamic ultimately dictates a project’s outcome in many ways.
