Hesmondhalgh The Daily Mail Online Cultural industries (newspapers) follow normal capitalist patterns of increased concentration cultural production is owned by a few conglomerates who vertically integrate across a range of media to reduce risk. DM- totally supports this because it is owned by Lord Rothermere who is one of the two billionaires in the UK who between them own ¾ of the press. He has reduced risk by vertically integrating to an online paper as well as print. Risk is high for cultural industries – especially now the internet means stories are shared quickly. Lord Rothermere doesn’t mind if figures are down a bit

Episode 1 Pilot CIA field agent Carrie Mathison is on the phone with deputy CIA director David Estes. She wants permission to speak with a prisoner she thinks has important intel. He's about to be executed and Carrie thinks is the perfect time to get information about the man he worked for, Abu Nazir. Estes says no, but she goes in anyway. Carrie tells the prisoner she will take care of his family if he gives her the information. He whispers something into her ear as she is dragged away by guards. TEN MONTHS LATER Carrie returns home to her apartment early one morning. She has clearly been closely tracking this Abu Nazir for some time. She washes herself up, takes a blue pill of some sort and removes a wedding ring. Carrie is late to Estes' briefing. He tells them about a Delta Force operation that resulted in the rescue of an American POW, Marine Corps Sniper/Scout Sergeant Nicholas Brody, who had been in captivity since 2003 and presumed dead.

Gilroy's Postcolonialist Theory between the 1500's and the 1900's we had a period of colonisation. Countries decided they wanted to go to other countries and take over and claim them as their own and start running them. Britain did this a lot. British military and government travelled to lots of places, such as India and the Caribbean, so they would sail there install their own government and soldiers and act as if then ran it. The people that lived in these countries would have to obey and listen to the British 'rulers' as they were very horrible people. We were trying to increase the British empire and grow out country and to make our country more powerful. colonisation = taking over another country to run and exploit it Gilroy believes we can still see the effects of this in the media now- Gilroy thinks you can still see people from ethnic minorities and in particular from those areas that we colonized as... Believes ethnic minorities are often show as pow...

Bandura's Media Effects Theory he was a researcher who decided to set up an experiment where he placed children in a room with an adult and gave him some toys in particular a bobo doll. The adult was told to play with the doll in a rough manor. The adult would leave the room and the keep the cameras rolling and in every case the children would copy the adult and also play with the doll in a rough way by punishing and hitting it. This was done to prove if watching violent things made children violent. His theory is if we watch Media products we will model are behaviour on what we see. There is a few issues with the theory. Doing the experiment in a test/ experiment condition that wouldn't happen in real life, when children are put in a room with a camera and told to play with toys it is very different. They are going to act to please the adults or think what do they want to us to do. Flaw: perhaps children were just trying to please the researchers Flaw: the dolls aren...
