The media has a number of very important roles to play in the modern world. One of the most popular roles that the media has is to **entertain** us. There are many ways that the media will entertain us including by making TV shows for us to watch or stream live events such as sports and gaming tournaments. Another job of the media is to **inform** us. This may be through making factual documentaries for TV and Radio that we can also access online. Examples of this would include documentaries such as Blue Planet or the **documentary we will watch later.** The media will also keep us up to date on current affairs and events as they are happening. This could be through news bulletins like on BBC or in newspaper articles about key moments such as the death of the Queen or government decisions. One of the most important roles of the media in a democracy is to **scrutinise**. This is when the media will investigate and ask really difficult questions of the government. The media will do this so that voters know what the government is doing. For example, the media exposed that members of the UK government had been having parties in Number 10 downing street during Covid Lockdowns. A forth role of the media is to **factcheck**. This is something that the broadcast media will mostly do. They will look into the claims made by people to see if it is true or not and then report to the public what is true and highlight what is untrue. This is a very important role as people need to know if the information they have been told is accurate and reliable or if it cannot be trusted. A final role of some types of media is to **influence** us. This is when the media will try to influence how we think and our opinions. This may be in the form of adverts that try to make us buy something. It could also be newspaper article trying to persuade us to vote a certain way or convince us that their opinion is the correct way to think. Often newspapers like the Daily Mail will try to persuade people to vote Conservative with the National newspaper wants people to vote for Scottish Independence. +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | 12.

The Broadcast media is the most popular types of media in the UK and the world. Every day millions of people will view or listen to the broadcast media on TV, on the Radio and online. **Media Example** **Role** **Media Example** **Role** ---------------------- ---------- -------------------------- ---------- Britain's Got Talent Newsround BBC 6 O'clock News Great British Bake Off Newsnight Blue Planet Radio 1 Save The Children Advert I'm A Celebrity BBC Reality Check BBC 1 Minute News Strictly Come Dancing Stranger Things BBC Radio Scotland News McDonalds Advert Channel 4 Fact Check Panorama CBBC **The Broadcast Media** **Broadcast media** first started on **Radio** before expanding to **TV** and **online**. One of the main things that makes the Broadcast media in the UK different is that by law, what it produces **must be balanced and impartial** when it comes to reporting the news and politics. This means telling or sharing both sides of the story. The broadcast media **must not be biased**. For entertainment purposes the shows, films and radio productions can be biased and make fun of politicians. **Broadcast Media: Informing and Educating Us** One of the main roles of the broadcast media is to inform and educate us. This is why in moments of crisis many people in the world will log in, turn on or tune into the broadcast media to learn about events as they are happening. In our world it is very **easy for people to make claims** and it can sometimes be **hard to figure out if it is true or not**. A very important job that the Broadcast media has is to fact check what is said by politicians and other famous people. This is so that people can make up their own mind and know if what the hear is true or if it is designed to influence them. The **Channel 4 FactCheck**[^1^](#fn1){#fnref1.footnote-ref} service (as well as BBC Reality Check) **help to check** and see if some of the **claims** made are **actually true**. This helps all of understand the different parts of a story. As well as a number of news programmes shown on TV and online, the radio will often host interviews that put politicians on the spot. This is **scrutiny**. 1 What happened to the pound? ---- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 2 What did James Hanson say Liz Truss had done since entering 10 Downing street? 3 What does the radio presenters say that people don't want? 4 Radio Kent asked Liz Truss if she was..."A......"? 5 Who's mistake has the Bank of England stepped in to fix? 6 Who does Liz Truss blame the cost of living crisis on? 7 What does Lee say would happen if there was no foodbank? 8 Who was getting tax cuts? 10 Listening to those interviews. How do you think Liz Truss would feel afterward? **Advertising in the Media**Broadcasters like Channel Four, Channel Five, ITV and Sky etc need to sell advertising time to make money. Companies will spend millions to advertise on television and online. They will employ specialist advertising agencies to create campaigns for them to help influence how we spend our time and our money. The most successful companies will have spent a lot of money to get us to recognise their brands in the hope we will be influenced to buy or use their products.      Best Logos in History  http://shadesofgreendesign.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/famous\_logos\_volkswagen\_logo.gif  Image result for famous logosImage result for logos When advertisers want to get your attention, they use special advertising techniques that are also called 'tricks'. The tricks are designed to influence you. Below you will see an example of some of these tricks though there are many more. **Advert** **Product Advertised** **Value for Money** **A Slogan** **Sex Appeal** **Famous Person or Song** **Comedy** **Snob Appeal** ------------ ------------------------ --------------------- -------------- ---------------- --------------------------- ------------ ----------------- **1** **2** **3** **4** **5** **6** **7** **8** **9** **10** **11**  Traditionally the Print media was most commonly thought of as newspapers. Today in the 2020's most newspapers have online news sites while some newspapers have stopped printing all together and are online only. We include both physical newspapers as well as digital news websites as examples of the print media. No Newspaper Name No Newspaper Name ---- ---------------- ---- ---------------- 1 11 2 12 3 13 4 14 5 15 6 16 7 17 8 18 9 19 10 20  There are **two main types** of newspapers and news sites. **Tabloids** and **Quality** Press. The first goal of any newspaper and site is to make money for the owners. This is why they have lots of advertising on them. All kinds of newspapers and sites have a role in informing us. The **Tabloid** press is the **most** **popular** of the two and quite often focuses more on **gossip** and dramatic stories. Tabloids are more focused on trying to **entertain** the reader as well as **influence** how they think and act. This is in part so they keep buying the newspaper. The **Quality** press tends to focus on more **political** and business-like stories which can be quite complex. This means that quality newspapers and sites are more focused on **educating** the reader though they will also have opinion articles included to influence readers.  Social Media has become one of the most popular types of media, particularly for younger generations who have grown up with mobile phones since the early 2000's. One of the **advantages** of social media is it can be used to **inform** people of breaking news stories and help them access information to **educate** themselves about big issues. A **disadvantage** though is that there are very few rules about what is posted and shared online meaning many things could have an **influence** on us even when they are **untrue**. +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | 9.

This can be done by using the template given to you by your teacher, on a computer or on paper. It must include sections 1 to 4. With each section successfully completed will get you a green star (or blue star) on your assessment tracker. You should try to push yourself when completing section 2 and 4 (which are 4^th^ level work).** **You could use the sentence starters on page 43 to help you.** **\ **  **Ways Social Media Negatively Affects Your Mental Health** **Human connection** As human beings, it's so important for us to be able to communicate and create personal connections with one another. However, it can be hard to do so when we're glued to rectangular screens, becoming more acquainted with our friends' online than their real-life personas. Stina Sanders, a former model who has 107,000 followers on Instagram, explained how social media sometimes makes her feel like she's being left out. "I know from my experience I can get FOMO when I see my friend's photos of a party I didn't go to, and this, in turn, can make me feel quite lonely and anxious,".   **Sleep** Having enough sleep is very important. However, many of us use our phones too soon before choosing the hit the hay, making it harder to doze off. "Getting worked up with anxiety or envy from what we see on social media keeps the brain on high alert, preventing us from falling asleep," explained Dr Bono.  Try setting yourself a strict rule of not going on your phone for at least 40 minutes to an hour before going to bed, and see if that makes a difference to the quality of your sleep.  **Attention span** It's not just your subconscious brain that you need to worry about, but also the extent to which your brain is able to fully concentrate when you're awake.  Going on social media before you go to bed can negatively affect the quality of your sleep. While it's incredible to consider the amount of information readily available at our fingertips thanks to social media, it also means that people have become far more easily distracted. "Social media has provided a means of constantly giving into the temptation of instant, easy-access entertainment," said Dr Bono. **Mental health** Not only has social media been proven to cause unhappiness, but it can also lead to the development of mental health issues such as anxiety or depression when used too much or without caution. In March, it was reported that more than a third of 1,000 individuals born in the 2000's stated that they were quitting social media for good as 41 per cent stated that social media platforms make them feel anxious, sad or depressed. +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | 6.

They include things like problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork. From the moment you are born, you start using these skills to understand and explore the world around you. **Why Are Meta-skills Important?** These skills are like keys that open the door to learning other important skills. As you grow and go through school, it\'s important to see and understand these meta-skills in yourself. This helps you become a better learner and succeed in different areas of life. ### Understanding Meta-skills in Secondary School In this unit, you will focus on important **meta-skills**. These are higher-order skills that help you become a flexible and successful learner in any situation the future may bring. Meta-skills can be grouped into three main categories, each with four specific skills under them. See the diagram opposite for a visual representation. Self-Management, **social Intelligence** and Innovation. By understanding and developing these meta-skills, you will be better prepared for a successful future in various aspects of life.  ::: {.section.footnotes} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. ::: {#fn1} ::: :::
