- 'Flow of content across multiple media platforms'
- Convergence is linked to neoliberalism
- Desire by media organisations to further expand their media outputs across different media platforms
- Decline of traditional media: print, radio, etc ]]> 2022-02-01 00:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022478884 Week 2: Understanding Radio adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022479057 - Radio is a blind medium, it captures the imagination
- It calls on its’ listeners to bond with audio creators in a unique way – a collaboration of minds to ‘visualize the source of the sound and to create in the mind’s eye the owner of the voice.’
- Reithian values:
- set the tone not only of the BBC but of the broadcasting on an international scale
- advocated that the BBC should become a service that was accessible to everyone; that it should maintain high standards and that it should not be vulnerable to commercial aims. This would drive down quality.
- Radio Caroline
- 1972: The Sound Broadcasting Act established the Independent Broadcasting Authority paving the way for independent local radio
- Radio is an intimate medium: it speaks to millions and yet it speaks to only you
- The presenter is KEY ]]> 2022-02-01 00:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022479057 Week 3: The Podcasting Era adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022479212 George the Poet's podcast:
- break down his thoughts
- scoffing
- not aggressive (calm music)
- use of higher power (parliament) telling his story
- dreamy music (diving deep)
- build up (showing his emotion and distress)
- 'look at it both ways'

- ipod + (broad)cast = podcast
- 4 phases in the development of the podcast:
- Popular use of digital music
- Web radio
- Music for free
- The ipod and podcasting
- Portability meant a shift from the public domain (a social gathering on the radio) to a private sphere within a public domain
- Creating a soundtrack that you wanted to hear when you wanted to hear it
- 'The diffusion of sound through the net would dramatically change the distribution, economy and culture of music, not to mention all related social systems, including radio and the recording industry' (Menduni 2007)
- Streaming unlocked the monopoly that radio had on synchronous broadcasting
- File sharing: the consumer is also the producer]]> 2022-02-01 00:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022479212 Week 4: Podcasting as an Industry adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022479687 - “We invite them into our kitchens while we cook, our cars while we commute, our offices while we work, and our pockets while we clean"
- We interact with other users in a social multi media environment (Berry 2006)
- Media displacement: replacing radio/music/television. Music radio had become boring and repetitive
- ‘Demassification’ Albarran et al(2007) Users are asserting power over the medium to select content at times that suit them
- Users chose how they listen, in what format and when
- Multitasking
- If you have to do something boring, make it enjoyable
- Feeds the brain
- ‘Seeming face-to-face relationship between audience member and performer (Horton and Wohl): A feeling of being connected to the presenter
- SEO’s (search engine optimisation) are key words that help your audiences find you
- USE YOUR AUDIENCE
- Network!
- Find unique things that allow you to stand out (competition)]]> 2022-02-01 00:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022479687 Week 5: Promotional Culture adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022480009 - Three main areas of convergence:
- Music, sounds, texts and images can be combined and recomposed
- Networks and services begin to carry the same kind of services where they were once separate
- Convergence of corporate ownership linked: content creation, production, distribution and retail services
(Murdoch 2000)
- Deregulation: liberalisation due to corporate business interests
- Re-regulation: re-engineering of regulations to favour business interests
- Consumer participation: the prosumer
- By 2024 ad expenditure is expected to reach £75m
- How you listen determines the ad audio
- Linear (radio) audio requires more punchy sounds to pierce through the living spaces where audio is consumed – department store/kitchen/car
- Digital audio consumed on headphones requires more subtle ads – it is enclosed sound – Binaural 3D audio – it is not new but there is a renaissance
- Ad delivery is changing: The Producer Read is where ads sounds natural, no script – Beer 52 ad
- What people chose to listen to is strongly linked to their mood]]> 2022-02-01 00:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022480009 Week 6: Presenter and Listener Relationship adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022480207 - Developed the ‘audience continuum’ – relationship between different types of audiences as they interact (Abercrombie and Longhurst in 1998)
- Various categories:
- Consumers: on the whole generalised use of media, unfocused
- Fans: Liable to develop strong attachment to certain genres and celebrities, less contact with other fans
- Cultists: Attachment to media text is more focused, concentrated, might create and circulate fan-based products, cultist will form bonds with other fans on an informal basis
- Enthusiasts: intensively consume, produce and share specialist small-scale media for their networks, highly engaged
- Petty Producers: creation of their own professional or semi-professional forms of cultural production, organised through the commercial market
- If formal gatekeepers no longer exist or have been greatly reduced – have they been replaced? (cancel culture? trolls?)
- Audience engagement is a way of building and maintaining listenership
- PSR: ‘personalities of the hosts are developed to create the
impression that the listener knows them and could be friends', encourage listeners to feel part of the inner circle.
- PSI: mass media ‘pretend’ to offer interactions with performers as a ‘simulacrum of conversational give and take’
- How much of yourself are you willing to give away in order to build a relationship with your listener?
- Is the ‘illusion of intimacy’ morally right?]]> 2022-02-01 00:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022480207 Week 7: Writing for a Listening Audience adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022480372 - Ofcom: regulatory body, seen as independent, you can complain about content to them

- The iPod
- Radio offers companionship
- Offers valuable information communicated to the public
- 'Convergence makes it harder to consider radio as a distinct industry'
- Future of radio remains unclear
- Media is mobile
- The radio's greatest threat was in the car and at home
- Listeners listen to what they need not what it is expected they need
- On demand services appeal to audiences because of control over consumption, personalisation, sharing content, greater variety of content
- Podcasters are more likely to respond to consumer needs faster than radio]]> 2022-02-01 00:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022481238 Week 13: Case Study - George the Poet and Fluid Podcast adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022481427 - Background sounds help to develop a mood while listening
- Scripts, no scripts, and bullet points: the difference can be heard by the listener
- Colours of the logo help to develop a concept/listening mood

Script (Example of a possible News Report):
On Sunday February 21st in Wayne Tarbard Close, Ripon, Jane Doe was heading out for her usual morning trip to the shops. While walking down the street by her house, she heard a crying meow in the distance. In between the strong blows of wind, Ms. Doe located the cries to a nearby tree in the park by her house. Although ‘cats are natural climbers and in a vast majority of cases are very capable of getting themselves down from a tree, this was a different circumstance. With its hind legs slipping in the high branches in result of the tree’s sways, the cat was in no position to be able to get itself down. With the wind howling and becoming very dangerous to the small animal, Ms. Doe called the North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service without hesitation. This poor little cat was frightened, and needed immediate help. People gathered at the sound of the fire engine coming down their housing lane. With cat cries and the crowd murmuring, the fireman extended their ladder by 20 meters, and climbed up to the trapped kitten. The only 8 month old kitten, known as Loki, was then reunited with its owners straight away. ]]> 2022-02-01 00:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022482695 Vox Pop Practice adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022482886 Introduction to the Vox Pop:
These past two years, fashion and individual style has had a major glow up across the world. Maybe it was the height of pandemic lockdown boredom that did it, or humanities new mindset of just doing whatever the ‘f’ it wants. Either way, everyone has STEPPED up their fashion game. No one was playing when it came to dressing up for halloween. It was almost as if there was a mutual agreement that if you didn't go hard on the costumes, you might as well have stayed home. We went around and asked members of our uni community what the best halloween costume they saw this year was. Let’s see what they had to say!
Outro to the Vox Pop:
Wowza! Those were some sick af costumes and maybe even some costumes ideas for your Halloween next year. Stay spooky and stay stylish!]]> 2022-02-01 00:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022482886 Google form for UAL students to gather data adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022483320 2022-02-01 00:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022483320 Survey Observations adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022483620 - Storytimes are the preferred genre of podcasts

We want to investigate whether this is true, and if issues surrounding sustainability ever reach a critical status, will they point the finger at students? Trendy, sustainable clothing brands can be overpriced and are potentially causing a surge in the mass production of cheaper but less sustainable alternatives to compensate for those that can’t/don’t want to spend as much money on clothing. We want to figure out if students value price over sustainability or the complete opposite.]]> 2022-02-01 01:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022489294 Third paragraph: adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022489736 When hearing the word ‘sustainability’, we have found that UAL students think of being eco-friendly, recycling, reusing, climate change, reusable tote bags, up-cycling, and vintage items. They have informed us that they try to live up to these synonyms by being vegetarian, walking when they can, charity shop shopping, Depop shopping, using reusable tote bags, recycling, not buying fast-fashion, turning off the lights, using less water/turning off the taps, not using plastic bags, eating more sustainably, and thrifting. From this market research, we can see that UAL students do try to make an effort to be sustainable. However, these efforts stem from what we have been taught our whole lives: ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’. Although these issues are well known, they do not necessarily relate to the current climate change contributors that are increasing global unsustainability. 92.3 percent of the responses we received said that they sometimes or always use the student discount option if there is one. We need to inform this generation that bargain shopping and getting more bang for your bucks using student discounts maybe a win for you, but it’s a possible future loss for humanity. From our research, we have found that the UAL students that like podcasts enjoy storytime podcasts the most. 75 percent of responders have said that they don’t prefer to listen to podcasts that talk about current issues. Knowing that a majority of UAL students dislike current event podcasts, but storytime podcasts are the most preferred genre, we aim to create a storytime podcast that attempts to tackle and dive into the possible negative impacts of student discounts on sustainability.

Each episode is approached as a casual conversation between friends, using the current popularity of the ‘Y2K’ aesthetic. Like a 2000s movie four way call, we discuss fast fashion and sustainability in a way that is inspiring and not forceful. Each episode includes special call in guests to add to the conversation and expand the conversation. Whether its vintage store owners, or individuals who have made a living from the lifestyle, we aim to promote sustainable fashion in a positive light. ]]> 2022-02-01 01:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022491854 Third Paragraph: adeignan1220191_2 https://padlet.com/adeignan1220191_2/qrsm4rmcya9qc2ex/wish/2022492083 When hearing the word ‘sustainability’, we have found that UAL students think of being eco-friendly, recycling, reusing, climate change, reusable tote bags, up-cycling, and vintage items.

This will be accomplished by approaching this 'current event' topic in a laid back and enjoyable way through nostalgic Y2K connections.
