Unit overview

Hello and welcome to the Media in the Online Age blog. On this blog you will find links to interesting articles and websites connected to the case studies and ideas that you will encounter on the course. You will also find a selection of videos - some of which you will analyse in class.

You will see several link lists on the right hand side of the page. The 'important people to follow' are people who we will study during the course of the unit, and the 'important links' are really useful in developing your knowledge and understanding of media in the online age.

The final link list on the right ('Links to Theories and Concepts') will come into use as the unit progresses and will eventually be an excellent revision resource for you as we get nearer to the exams.

We hope you really enjoy the unit.

Brave New World?

Here is an article from today's Guardian about Warner Bros renting movies through Facebook. It is not happening in the UK yet, but surely that will follow if this trial proves successful? This could not be more relevant for the Media in the Online Age course and is another angle on your Facebook case study.

It is also something you might refer to when thinking about what the future might hold - one single interface that people go to for everything? Will it be run by one company (Googlezon?) as Casaleggio Associati predicted in the video you watched at the start of this course? Here's part 2 of that video (the original is the first post on this blog in case you want to revisit it).
