Reflection

• What will you change in your media consumption habits this year as a result of studying A Level Media? I have to at least do one of the three media consumption at least a month.
• List three sources of media (websites/newspapers/apps/TV programmes etc.) that you will start to access this year that you haven't engaged with previously. I will have to listen to radio, I have to read the newspaper and go on different websites that may have new or other current affairs.
