Introducing Media Studies: Newspapers

"Introducing Media Studies" is a series of booklets which provide a way into Media Studies for pupils of 12-16. The booklets have been designed to meet a variety of needs in the context of English, Art and Humanities classes, and each in complete in itself, but the topics can be linked to provide a framework for a more ambitious syllabus. The aim is to combine information on professional practice with do-it-yourself experience, so as to lead to an understanding of how the mass media operate, as production processes and as industries. This book provides an introduction to the ownership, readership, production processes and editorial policies of the national and local press in the United Kingdom.
