Media and Society explores the complexity of factors that shape the relationship between media, culture and society. You will be introduced to the media representations of reality and identity constructions, as well as the relationship between media producers and users. The module will also look into how reality is produced, reproduced, maintained and transformed by the media. A key focus is the interplay between the various roles of the media: the civic role in a democratic system, media as business, and media as a public service provider. You will consider the linkages between media forms and production, including issues such as access, inclusiveness, marginalisation, knowledge, power and information. You will analyse media organisations, study the way in which media content is produced, distributed and received by audiences, as well as assessing its contribution to culture and social progress.

Social Media charts the growth of social media since the development of Web 2.0. Arguably the single greatest advance in personal and group communication on a global basis since the development of the printing press, social media enables individuals to express themselves to large groups of people. From YouTube and Instagram influencers, to controversial Twitter figures and the fake news of Facebook memes, this module enables you to develop a deeper online literacy and gain a keen understanding of the power of social media to influence political, social and economic debates. You will assess the role that social media has had in the development of fan and DIY media, and how these have come into conflict with the traditional gatekeeping elites of the corporate mainstream media. You will be asked to evaluate how far social media has become a controversial space for the discussion of politics and political and social debates. You will also analyse the shift from the media of the masses to the media of the self, while also exploring the potential of social media platforms as a means of developing global profiles for individuals, and groups, previously given limited access to the mainstream media.

Transmedia Storytelling examines the development of transmedia storytelling within digital environments, recognising that marketing and audience engagement with films and television programmes has changed dramatically over the last decade. Audiences, who are constantly connected through smartphones and second screens, expect to connect with content outside of the core film/television programme, when they want, where they want and on their own devices. The convergence of media, technologies and culture has heralded a new age of audience engagement within media franchises, enabling producers of media content to connect with their audience at multiple entry points, enabling a new form of audience participation and immersion. The module will reflect on this enhanced two-way communication that encompasses the current trends in digital platforms and social media including websites, podcasts, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. You'll engage in new and innovative ways of connecting to the audience through extended narrative and content, while discovering the underpinning strategies used for developing a transmedia world where the central narrative of a film, or television programme, is extended through different delivery platforms and protracted narratives.

The module will develop practical skills in the conception, management and production of additional content, enabling you to create and design your own digital media content, fusing creativity with a brand message for integrated campaigns across a range of media platforms.

Pods and Vlogs recognises that the internet has fundamentally challenged the gatekeepers of old mainstream media in the creation, production and distribution of media texts. The internet has destabilised the publishing industry, for example, with the rise of social media, while YouTube and Netflix have challenged the primacy of broadcasting networks. The access to new audiences by grassroots media producers has developed ‘many to many’ modes of distribution, which subverts the traditional broadcasting model of ‘one to many’. Immersing you in a critical evaluation of the production processes of citizen media in the age of the internet, this module will challenge you to think critically about the role of platforms like YouTube, podcasting, blogs and social media. It will concentrate on an analysis of key theoretical frameworks including participation, disintermediation, fandoms and non-mainstream media.

Activist Media addresses new forms of mediated grassroots protest movements and assesses their ability to use the Internet and new forms of online communication to develop their activist repertoires and spread their message. From the anti-corporate and ecological movements of the late 20th century, to contemporary animal rights and equality activists, these protest movements have used the potential of the networked world to develop often highly effective networks of people who are centred in the online and offline worlds. This module enables you to gain a systematic understanding of how old and new forms of activist media production inform the development of contemporary political and social movements. You will evaluate how effective these repertoires have been and directly apply the knowledge gained to your own creative media activism. This will involve producing an activist media campaign for a grassroots political organisation, pressure group or community level organisation. You will identify and sustain the key arguments and apply activist media techniques to advance the profile of the movement.

Non-Fiction TV encompasses a broad range of content, from news programming and investigative journalism to natural history documentaries, popular factual competitions, reality television, quiz and game shows, and satirical sketch shows. While television drama might occupy much of our cultural conversation, hour for hour non-fiction programming dominates the schedules.

The module will also combine academic analysis with professional practice. You will learn about the history of non-fiction television, its industrial importance, issues of ethics and regulation, as well as some of the ways in which non-fiction forms have been analysed by television scholars. This knowledge will then be applied to the creation of a short-form non-fiction television programme, in a genre of your choice, produced to a professional standard.

Sport and the Media critically evaluates the cultural, economic and political importance of sport to the global media landscape in both historical and contemporary contexts. With huge sums invested in events like the Olympic Games and World Cup, as well as the selling and buying of rights for domestic and European football, sport on television has helped to create days and moments of historic importance. As terrestrial television changes, due to the development of streaming and on-demand television, sport remains of vital importance to the media industry. The advent of the Internet has also seen the development of a highly active fan media environment, where billions of spectators use social media, blogs, vlogs and podcasts to have their say. On this module, you will therefore evaluate and articulate the significance of sport to the media industries, such as television and video games, and the role that it plays in the regulatory, political and cultural lives of peoples, nation states and in global geopolitics. You will also research and critically evaluate the role that sport has played in the development of contemporary conceptual issues like celebrity culture, gender and sexuality, and the articulation of nationality and nationalism.
