Media Magazine conference notes
How to be Creative
- Volunteer - don't wait around for opportunities to spring up themselves
- No one comes from nowhere
- Put everything into everything - but life isn't a meritocracy
- Don't wait to be invited to the dance - beware the Doppler effect
- The day after you finish what do you do? - really planning for the future
Sports Journalism
- Kick It Out
- Usain Bolt feature - 'Fastest Man Who Ever Lived'
- Seek new info
- Be prepared
- Believe in yourself
- Be yourself
- Diversity - Black Collective of Media in Sport (BCOMS)
Young People, Media and Democracy
- Disaffection of the young
- Technological determinism/pessimism/optimism
- Digital generation?
- Increasing control of all media by a few corporations e.g. Warner Bros, Fox News...
- Right-wing racist rhetoric
- Social fragmentation
- Political socialisation
- Young people engage in political things like jobs, gender rights, violence...
- Exclusion/inclusion happens in the 'youth voice' process
- Social media provides info, but not how to act on it in the long run
- Traditional media still has a big role in young people's lives despite elements like its stereotypes abound
An Audience with Tony Garnett
- 'Humans live through stories' - narratives and meta-narratives
- Both sides of the referendum had no evidence - generation will have to be aware of the prejudices fake news can have
- 'If the editor of the news isn't omniscient, neither are you'
- BBC has been 'marketised' - its films are its commodities
