Gauntlett published ‘Media Studies 2.0’ online in 2007, which argues that classic media studies fails to define when the categories of ‘audiences’ and ‘producers’ unite, and that new, altered teaching methods are needed.

He states that because of web 2.0, we as audiences can become our own producers thanks to websites such as YouTube. Through this we can create our own identity and even influence other peoples.

Modern Western societies does not leave individuals in any doubt that they need to make choices of identity and lifestyle - even if their preferred options are rather obvious and conventional ones, or are limited due to lack of financial (or cultural) resources. As the sociologist Ulrich Beck has noted - everyone wants to 'live their own life,' but this is, at the same time 'an experimental life'.']]> 2017-05-12 10:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellefamiyesin/xkbcl0b9mfqd/wish/171452192 daniellefamiyesin https://padlet.com/daniellefamiyesin/xkbcl0b9mfqd/wish/171452951 Identities are complex constructions. They are made of lots of different aspects and often change over periods of time as we change. ]]> 2017-05-12 11:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellefamiyesin/xkbcl0b9mfqd/wish/171452951
