AS Section B: Institutions & Audiences Past Questions

Year 12,


Sorry for the late post, but I realised that I'd already included the past questions in the revision pack that I gave you last term. However, here they are anyway:

• Discuss the ways in which media products are produced and distributed to audiences, within a media area which you have studied. (Jan 2009)

• How important is technological convergence for institutions and audiences within a media area you have studied? (Jun 2009)

• “Media production is dominated by global institutions, which sell their products and services to national audiences.” To what extent do you agree with this statement? (Jan 2010)
  
  What significance does the continuing development of digital media technology have for media institutions and audiences? (Jun 2010)
  
• Discuss the issues raised by media ownership in the production and exchange of media texts in your chosen media area. (Jan 2011)
  
• “Successful media products depend as much upon marketing and distribution to a specific audience as they do upon good production practices.” To what extent would you agree with this statement, within the media area you have studied? (Jun 2011)
  
• To what extent does digital distribution affect the marketing and consumption of media products in the media area you have studied? (Jan 2012)
  
• “Cross-media convergence and synergy are vital processes in the successful marketing of media products to audiences.” To what extent do you agree with this statement in relation to your chosen media area? (Jun 2012)
  
• What impact does media ownership have upon the range of products available to audiences in the media area you have studied? (Jan 2013)
