The Impact of Technological Change on Newspapers

The Guardian

The Guardian do not put up a paywall, as they allow everyone to read the whole story. However, they ask for contributions which get invested back into their journalism, so that 'they are able to keep telling the stories that matter and to inform the world and make it a better place.

They also offer a monthly subscription that offers a premium experience on the guardian app and also a daily tablet edition app.
They get their audience to interact by sharing the stories that they produce on their social media, allowing them to state their opinions.
This applies to Shirky's End of Audience theory, in which the consumers now become the producers. This is because they are able to share a story and add on their view/opinion on it to their own audience on social media.

Mail Online (Daily Mail)

The Mail Online, unlike The Guardian, gets it's main source of income through the advertisements they have splash across the screen. Compared to the advertisements on The Guardian, these ones are much more intrusive as they almost get in the way of reading the news, and if anything make the website much more difficult to read and use.

However, similarly to The Guardian, Mail Online offer the option of sharing their stories onto social media. This allows the audience to interact more compared to that of newspapers. This again applies to Shirky's theory, as the consumers become the producers because they are able to put their own viewpoint along with the story to share with their following on social media.

HOW MINECRAFT IS MARKETED DIFFERENTLY - ESSAY

When Minecraft was officially released, marketing was solely based on word of mouth. Due to its never-ending possibilities it became pretty popular. With the help of YouTube, Minecraft has become one of the most popular games as it allowed users to show other fans their creations and how they have used the game.

Pitch, Statement of Intent and Mockups

Pitch My aim for my billboard posters in relation to Fairtrade is to try and show the equality within the brand through the posters themselves. I will try and do this by using an outdoor setting, because it has that correlation to nature and represents that natural environment. I believe this will help give a clearer idea to the reader about the link to Fairtrade. This isn't clearly shown in my mock-ups as they are just sample images. The only reason I used these images was to show the similar style of clothing and poses. The two mock-ups have slight differences in layout and fonts and when it comes to the final poster I will decide on the most appropriate style. However, whatever it ends up looking like it will have a clean and simple approach, as I believe it suits the ethos of the company. Statement of Intent - For my adverts I intend to have the model as the main focus along with the brand name and slogan, which both have correlations to Fairtrade. With the picture I ...

American Beauty - Scene Analysis

Representation Lester is represented as a submissive and pathetic person, this is shown through his hunched over posture and the way he always obeys to whatever his wife tells him to do. This is the complete opposite to his wife who is a very loud and tumultuous person. She is seen as the master at the table whereas it would usually be the father of the family. However, she has to be quite caring as she took a lot of time preparing a big meal for her family. Then there is Jane, who seems to be the most collected out of all the family, even though she is stereotypical confused and delusional teenager. Mise En Scene The mise en scene in this scene from American Beauty is used to express the personalities of the family. For instance, Lester is wearing very bland clothes, much like the interior of the house, which shows that his life is boring and repetitive. It could also show that he blends in with the house as if he is not there, which would make sense as he stated at th...
