Presentation subject

  • Brainstorm five possible media texts you could choose as your presentation subject. (The platform can be TV, film, print, online).
My five possible topics:

Music in e-media
Teenagers and the media
Social networks
Piracy
Traditional media vs. the new media

  • Take your five possible ideas and choose the best three with reasons for their selection. Try to include at least five reasons for each, outlining what you know about the text/topic so far.

Music in e-media
Reasons why I chose this topic:
- Lots of representation 
- Different types of music for different target audiences
- Many ways of promoting through different types of e-media
- corrupting the youth debates and controversy 

Research:
The link below is a statistic from a questionnaire asking whether modern rap and pop music has a negative influence on the minds of children.


YouTube and Social networkings sites such as facebook help to promote music through the platform of e-media. Others include viveo.

This video above is an example of music promoted through e-media could help influence young teenagers in a negative way. The video shows a rapper glorifying drugs, money and firearms in his music video 'I don't like' which managed to accomplish over 27million views.

Teenagers and the media
Reasons why I chose this topic:
- Lots of negative stereotypes
- Misconceptions 
- Teenagers controlling e-media
- Different representations amongst all types of platforms

Research:


 Traditional media vs. the new media
Reasons why I chose this topic:
- Old media such as newspapers, radio
- New media through the internet
- Subject of debate: Traditional media is dying
- Different audiences, the new media appeals to a younger audience
