Assessment 1: Learner Response

-
WWW:

''This is a real mix: Q2 + Q3 show real potential and if you can match 
  that level across the whole paper you will be 
  in good shape.''

EBI:

''Knowledge and revision is key: look over narrative and genre theory to boost Q1 + Q3.
 -Q4 really holds you back: was this an exam technique issue (focus on question) or a       knowledge issue (reception theory) ? Work it out and put it right next time!''

-1 key thing I think I struggled with was linking my answers back to the respectful theory the question was based on. This was a reoccurring theme in every question.

-One potential point I could have mentioned would have to be linking my answers back to theories, which I didn't do. This is a reoccurring potential point too.

-In the assessment I didn't get any theories correct, in fact I didn't have any written at all. They are all very tricky to remember as there's a lot to take note of, it's just something I have to constantly revise.

-Link theories to the question/answer
 Link narrative codes to question/answer
 Use specific terminology
 Make sure everything is linked and makes sense.

  1) How has YouTube "democratised media creativity"? "The YouTube platform has democratised media creativity, with ordinary users uploading their own content: they are ‘produsers’ (producer-users) and ‘prosumers’ (producer-consumers). Content is published first and then filtered or judged later by audiences. So, success is measured by the number of views and the reaction of the ‘fans’ rather than the judgement and financial power of an industry editor/producer." 2) How does YouTube and social media culture act as a form of cultural imperialism or 'Americanisation'?  "In the 1960s Marshall McLuhan described how the world was shrinking, becoming more interconnected due to technological progress. For him, improved communications turned the world into a global village, and this was decades before the internet. Not all famous YouTubers, like Emma Chamberlain, are American but Americans certainly make up the majority. The universality of the English language

The video is also available on YouTube below but the Nieman Lab website has a written transcript of everything Shirky says.  Play the clip AND read along with the transcript below to ensure you are following the argument. You need to watch from the beginning to 29.35 (the end of Shirky's presentation). Once you've watched and read the presentation and made notes (you may want to copy and paste key quotes from the transcript which is absolutely fine), answer the questions below: 1) Why does Clay Shirky argue that 'accountability journalism' is so important and what example does he give of this? The Bishop Accountability Project, which set up a database to prevent the “this is a rare occasion that doesn’t happen elsewhere” kinds of excuses from taking hold, added that article and the
