On Wednesday the 31st of May, my friend Lizzie and I attended ‘Slate Culture Gabfest, Live in Melbourne’ to round out our Media One semester. Two weeks ago Brian told us there was a chance to go to a talk for FREE at the Exhibtion Centre and I love a good talk but when it’s free I’m 100% there. So…

We had to create a 1-2 minute audio piece titled, “Are you paying attention?” and so…
WEEK 11 INITIATIVE (Netflix vs. Stan)
Week 11’s lecture was all about television broadcasting and it’s changing landscape. This made me think about how I was watching T.V and if I was just watching the suggestions Netflix was giving me or if I was going out of my way to find new content to watch to broaden my horizons. So one night when my housemate and…
WORKSHOP WEEK TEN

I enjoy listening to podcasts…
