RESEARCH: Media Studies: the basics - Chapter 3


After reading the third chapter I have learned...
1. That media influences and has a lot of power over citizens.
2. Some citizens have been using media (especially social media) to challenge this power that the media has over citizens and turn it the other way round.
3. There are 6 key theoretical ideas for studying power; marxism, cultural imperialism, political economy, feminism, postmodernism and politics 2.0.
4. That in a democracy all citizens are entitled to free media but this is rarely found in practice.
5. Feminist media is changing all the time but with one common theme that 'the norm' of media analysis is the male point of view.
