  • As a bi-media product, the shift in focus from print to online might suggest the need for greater opportunities for interactivity for success.  
  •  Criteria for success would include The Voice’s role as a campaigning presence, based on a close relationships with it's audience  
  • The Voice has faced severe financial difficulties which could be discussed in the context of its relationship to the contemporary audience and their expectations of opportunities for interactivity.
  • It could be argued that opportunities for interactivity are limited – reasons and effects of this limitation could be discussed in the context of audience and industry.
  • Representation of local community issues could be understood as creating a closer relationship with the audience in a similar – more productive? – way to interactivity. relationship with its audience, suggesting the need for interactivity.  

    • paragraph 3- Taylor swift   

    • Interactivity is central to the existence of social media as a form, with users creating and sharing content.

    • This CSP illustrates the tension central to the success of social media, namely that it creates the impression of intimacy and individual expression while being a product of media conglomerates.

    • The success of a celebrity’s social media presence can be evaluated through the construction of a persona, promotion of the celebrity and connection to the fans.

    • Opportunities for interactivity can be explored in relation to the above criteria of success – in what ways are fans able to interact ‘with’ Taylor Swift? What is the level of engagement? What aspects of the persona are the fans interacting with?

    • Taylor Swift’s focus on issues of identity in her representation provides opportunities for fans to explore these areas in their own contributions. 

    curran and Seaton

    Livingstone and Lunt  

    paragraph 4   applies to both 

    • development of online media forms as characteristic of the interactive media landscape and the contemporary move away from print and linear formats

    • the nature of the online form creates accessibility for the user, blurring the division between producer and audience

    • the identification of opportunities for audience interaction in the products – what is actually meant by interactivity in media products?

    • consideration of the criteria of success in contemporary media – scale of consumption? Developing an identity? Constructing a relationship between audience and product? Promotion? Public service?

    • apply relevant theories of audience as part of the theoretical framework: what do they suggest about the relationship between audience and producer?


    paragraph 5  

    conclusion  - summaries the point 

    5) Based on the whole Paper 2 Learner response, plan five topics / concepts / CSPs / theories that you will prioritise in your Easter Media revision timetable.

    • revise the voice and Taylor swift 
    • theorist mainly audience   
    • written language 
    •  answer structure
