Death of print media

-
1) What has happened to print media in the last 30 years?

the last 30 years print media had been a successful industry, however due to technology becoming advanced such as TV and the internet, the print media has had a drastic decline in its value and sales.

2) Why is the Independent newspaper such a good case study for the decline in print media?

The independent is one of the latest newspapers to the fall in print industry, therefore there is a clear and viable piece of evidence that displays the death of print media with the independent only being the i now a newspaper that was at the time considered a back up or substitute but has now taken centre stage due to people not being interested in broadsheet newspapers.

3) What was the Independent newspaper famous for?

This newspapers was "free from political bias, free from proprietorial influence" which made it stand out from the typical biased papers such as the sun and daily mail.

4) What did the then-owner of the Independent, Evgeny Lebedev, say about the newspaper's digital-only future?
its said that digital media was the way forward and that the independent was set to do but now know it was not very successful at this.

5) How do online newspapers make money?

They generate money by methods such as paywalls to force readers to pay or not view their content also by having adverts to gain revenue but also by selling consumer habits and interests to other companies.

6) What did the Independent's longest-serving editor Simon Kelner warn regarding the switch to digital?

simon had warned everyone about the accessibility of the internet and the ability of people being able to write fake news.

7) What is the concern with fake news? What does 'post-truth' refer to?

That people are being mis-informed, due to online news being easy to set up and anyone can post anything leading to a global audience being informed wrong. this can be done via twitter as people can twist the truth to influence the audience to believe one thing. 

8) What is your view on the decline in print media? Should news be free? Is it a concern that established media brands such as the Independent can no longer afford to exist as a printed newspaper?

The world is constantly changing, and i think that we should keep up with that change. This means that we should be allowed to get free news online. It is much more convenient to view and access news online due to the quickness of it being uploaded.

Narrative in advertising: Nike

-
1) How does the advert use narrative? Apply at least three narrative theories to the text, making specific reference to specific shots or key scenes in the advert. In the advert, we are shown action and enigma codes throughout the ad, starting with the kid scoring a goal in training, if the girl playing football gets noticed if more people play ice hockey and enigma codes of why the girl has to fight her family and if the man skateboarding get's away from security. In a way Todorov's equilibrium is shown with the man casually walking into the store and then having to cycle to his mate, leading to the chain of sports being mentioned, but then at the end of the advert there is a scene of the man on his cycle in his new equilibrium of choosing to cycle to his friend.
