An extensive set of engaging resources to support the teaching of Component 2 of the new GCSE Media Studies specification. The resources explore the set products in relation to all areas of the theoretical framework and include interactive activities to develop learners' knowledge, understanding, and analytical skills. The activities can be used in class and there are suggested extension and research activities that can be completed independently. The resources also cover relevant theoretical perspectives and contexts.
While all resources were correct at the time of publishing, teachers should be aware that things move quickly in the media industry and should therefore check that the information is still current and correct.
Please note that the set products prescribed for study are changed periodically and, although we do update our resource pages regularly, there may be some instances of resources referencing historical set products. Centres should ensure they refer to the latest version of the specification, available on the qualification webpage, for full details of current set products and requirements.
