Week 10 Tutorial

Today Brian gave us some very useful information that as a group should be used to create a better final product.

Some ideas we explored were:

– Exploit the limitations of the medium within the medium. You could purposefully struggle with your format.

– The quality of the actual object transcends whatever it is online. This is handy. (Does this explain the rise in vinyl)

– Think about local newspapers, that shift from how a newspaper represents a city (certain media are associated with particular geographical spaces) for example the age with Melbourne, historically you have city level newspapers, the Australia. What happens when globalization individual audiences are a lot more interested in global media, for example the guardian doesn’t have an Australian history, this is possible because of the digital culture, decline in youth readership of newspapers, think about the advertising internet provides, the internet provides a lot options for advertising. Thick description!

Map ideas out, prioritise them, and think about what will be done with them.

• Decline in publishing, there are many self-published authors now.

– YouTube broadcast yourself idea, you could almost produce your own newspaper it doesn’t require a whole company to produce a newspaper, an individual can do that.

– What kind of evidence I we going to bring to substantiate our claims, get evidence, its creative but also a research project.

– Parody and satire is a defence in Australia, you can claim pre-existing material as a defence not a right. You can get sued for it, it is not protected by rights.

– How do different mediums impact audiences.

– The medium is the message-what does this have to do with print media.
