Week 34: Update of Investigation Exercise and Homework Assignment

Today I have been continuing with both my Investigation exercise into Documentaries and News Programmes, I have nearly completed this assignment and today we were introduced to the fact of evaluating a subject Critically. As within the media especially Factual Programmes, they need to be Unbiased in the way in which they present the subject within the programme itself, therefore within my Investigation Exercise I have found a story about Impartiality, which was about the fact that the coverage of the Royal Wedding on BBC was Biased. As this bought up the argument about the Values of the Royal Family in Britain today, and within research I have found information about this argument and that the coverage did not reflect both sides of this argument. Therefore I am going to analyse this article and the information which I found on the subject to be able to understand both sides of this argument and give my belief on this subject within my Investigation, so I can clearly show my understanding of the subject as being biased within a programme can cause complaints, in which it did from the coverage of the Royal Wedding last Friday.

Homework Assignment: I have also been completing my Homework assignment on the two different companies in the media industry I chose to research into The Walt Disney Company and ITV. I have found secondary research into these companies including their history, who owns the companies, what the companies own, their income and employees. From this Secondary Research I have then written all these different areas up in my own words to show my own understanding of the companies within the media industry, I have also started to place the information into create a PowerPoint on the two companies to clearly show my understanding and research. I also need to complete the two questions within the booklet for this task, about the amount of employees, main Competitors, income and advantages and disadvantages of owning such a big company. I have completed the Research Dossier for this task with Annotated Research and the Document which from my Secondary Research I have been able to write my own document about the two Companies.
