024 – MEDIA INDUSTRY PRODUCTION

DO NOW
What recent development of discussion in the world of Media has interested you and why? For example, my favourite podcast, Download This Show, did a segment on Donald Trump’s tweet and made the assertion that if he was an ordinary person he would probably have been booted of by now. He has used his Tweeter account to insult people and incite violence, which ordinary, less famous people, have had their accounts deactivated for. This is fascinated me because it made me question whether social media is as open and democratic as it claims to be.
