News Value blog task

1) Come up with a news story from the last 12 months for each of the categories suggested by Harriss, Leiter and Johnson: Conflict: Afghan conflict Progress: Switzerland voted in favour of LGBTQ Disaster: Coronavirus Consequence: London Knife crime Prominence: Philip Scofield coming out gay Novelty: Death of Kobe Bryant 2) What example news story does the Factsheet use to illustrate Galtung and Ruge's News Values? Why is it an appropriate example of a news story likely to gain prominent coverage? The higher the ratings in this ranking for a news storey, the more likely it is to become news.

Media Paper 1 PPE LR

1) Type up your  feedback  in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to). i got a D, no feedback given 2) Did you succeed in meeting or exceeding your  target grade  for A Level Media? If not, how many additional marks do you need to achieve your target grade in this paper? I didn't reach my grade goal as I was 1 below it. To meet my target grade for the exam section, I need to hit about 8 marks. The grade boundaries for this paper: A* = 78; A = 68; B = 56; C = 46; D = 36; E = 26. Now read through the AQA  mark scheme . This is vital as the paper was an official specimen exam paper and therefore the mark scheme tells us a lot about what AQA are expecting us to produce. The  original question paper is here  if that is helpful too. 3) Write a  question-by-question analysis  of your performance. For each question, write how many marks you got from the number available and identify any points that you missed by carefully studying the AQA indicative content
