This week I have been concentrating on the 3000 word essay that we have to produce for Applied Media Research. Although I haven't produced an essay of this length before it hasn't actually been so bad, I'm not sure how confident I am though. I've been trying to look at some further reading in regards to this essay and I found some cool journals that I had a read through! The essay has been interesting to write though because the idea of audience behaviour and how, us, the audience are changing the game is so cool. We actually have all of the power now to demand something, and it is almost satisfying to know this because I feel like Global companies previously have been arrogant in their approach and feel as though they can throw anything at us and we will consume it without questions. This whole process has been so enlightening for me, I have broadened my knowledge of our culture and I can now see the media from a different angle which, after all, is what our aim was, right?
At least I can look back on this module and believe that I have learnt something and that I can carry it through with the rest of my skills now.
The blog this year has been a different approach by me as well. The feedback from last years blog made me realise that I was summarising rather than reflecting. I think I have taken this on board and now I enjoy reflecting on what I've done this year. I don't know whether this is because I'm getting better at Blogging or I have more to reflect upon!
On the Convergence module, I haven't progressed with that much more because the last week has been all about the essay and finishing off everything to do with Applied Media Research, as of next week though, I will be fully concentrating on that!
Finally, the Malta work placement I think is going to become a reality! We had a meeting with Michael Harley yesterday, where he filled us in on all of the details. All I have to do now is get the ball rolling and hopefully in 2 months I will be kicking back in Malta! Here are the links to the project that I will be going over to Malta with:

That, is all.
