Newspaper audience and industry research

 

What the exam board want you to be able to discuss is:

Detailed discussion of the role of print and online technology and news consumption and response by comparison of the audience address and possible audience needs met by the differences in the print and online editions and social media feeds of the Guardian and Daily Mail/MailOnline

• Research into differences in audience responses to, uses of, and needs fulfilled by online and print news, with special reference to the Guardian and Daily Mail/ MailOnline

• Investigate specialist, perhaps global, audiences served by online news (e.g. news for groups defined by a special interest, e.g. birdwatchers, or a shared identity, e.g. Britons living abroad).

• Researching contemporary examples of citizen journalism and participation

  • Look at the various links, choose a couple to look at that may not be part of the print editions (for eg updated and breaking news)
