EXAMINER'S REPORT
The higher level challenge in this question was the idea of ‘democracy’
Solid answers focused on the changing power relationship between audiences and
producers and increased audience participation. Higher level answers discussed the
concept of democracy.
• Sophisticated answers debated the arguments and examples for and against
increasing democracy as a result of NDM.
• Globalisation was a popular point. Satisfactory answers said NDM had contributed to
globalisation. Higher level answers debated the advantages of globalisation, for
example the rise of citizen journalism, freedom of speech and disadvantages, for
example the digital divide, censorship.
• Lots of answers used really up to date and topical examples, showing their
knowledge of and interest in the media and society. They can obviously include these
if they fit in to their own case study, but they can also use them to supplement their
own case study, supporting points they have already made from their own case study
products.
The only way to do school work for John Masefield Media Studies students. Keep checking it to see if your teachers have posted anything new, or if there is anything that you need to do.
