Media Studies (KS4)

Back

“Fandom, after all, is born of a balance between fascination and frustration: if media content didn't fascinate us, there would be no desire to engage with it; but if it didn't frustrate us on some level, there would be no drive to rewrite or remake it.”

Subject Purpose 


Media Studies allows you to analyse how the industries, practices, and content of mass media — which include radio, TV, film, newspapers, magazines, popular music, digital gaming, the internet and social media — shape our perspectives of the world around us.

Media studies plays a fundamental part in our everyday lives as it equips students with the communication and technology skills needed to succeed in the modern workplace, whether in the media industry or not.
