A comprehensive and engaging set of resources to support the development of knowledge, understanding and analysis of the News, with a specific focus on Newspapers. The resources include a range of interactive and printable activities that relate to the study of Newspapers in Component 1 of the new GCSE specification. All areas of the theoretical framework of media are explored through contemporary examples and case studies, with some historical context. These resources facilitate the study of Newspaper products considering media language, representations, media organisations and audiences.
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.
