See you for discussion on Tuesday 24th with fully-formed and beautifully-constructed theories on this topic.

I feel that to start off, the words of Rupert Murdoch, perhaps the most important figure in 20th Century global media, will serve us best and should act as a constant reminder as we continue through our fleeting time at school:

"Media Studies is not an easy subject.  Listen to your bloody teachers and do what they tell you.  I can assure you they are always right".

Thank you Mr. Murdoch, your words I'm sure will drive home into those that need them.

This is the space you come to when providing homework, it will be the final resting place of your production work this year, where you will find links and avenues that send your growing minds in various media-related directions. 

It is a place that one day soon perhaps you will call home.
