Today we were assigned groups for our major group assessment. The brief involves us being given a certain media topic of which we have to research and eventually produce an artefact about. Haylee, Andrew and I were given the topic of ‘Institutions’. We spent a long time trying to actually figure out what this topic meant and what would be required of us. We ended up finding this basic definition: ‘A media conglomerate, media group or media institution is a company that owns large numbers of companies in various mass media such as television, radio, publishing, movies, and the Internet.’ By the end of the class we had a bit of a clearer view about what we would need to do within the task, however there will need to be a lot of research and commitment from us as a group to pull it off.
