This weeks workshop was pretty productive if I do say so myself.
This workshop, after a few tasks that I can’t remember – we got into our groups for the upcoming project brief 4 and did some collaborative work once again.
We had an extensive discussion on what we could frame our media essay around. After several minutes of back-and-forth conversation, the questions we have come up with to frame our media essays on is:
- What effect does the way we view media today have on long-standing institutions?
- What Part do media institutions play in globalization?
If you can’t already tell, the major theme that plays in both questions is the idea of ‘institutions’. More specifically, long-standing institutions of media such as major television broadcasters, newspaper producers and radio broadcasters.
Also, I’ve gathered my share of the references that I will be using for this project, which is listed below:
