Tyneside Cinema

Time:

Media specialist Roy Stafford's masterclass will explore the ways in which traditional concepts of 'broadcasting' are being undercut by the development of social networking, blogging, 'citizen journalism' and the increased fragmentation of traditional audiences for broadcast services. The continued development of interactive gaming as an alternative to traditional forms of entertainment will also be considered.

Explanation will be given as to why this is potentially so threatening to traditional media, and some of the ways in which media institutions are beginning to respond will be investigated. This event is of relevance to all students of media studies, particularly at 'A' level.

Booking is essential.
