Written Assignment

<p>This module introduces you to the analysis of industrially produced, professional media texts along with user-generated content (UGC). It ranges across different textual formats (written, spoken, audiovisual) from ‘old’ media (such as the press, film or television) and ‘new’ media (YouTube clips/memes) in the digital era, providing you with a toolbox of analytical methods to understand the construction and meaning-making of such texts and it introduces the concept of genre, their origin, content and structure. You will analyse user-generated texts, such as GIFs, podcasts and promotional texts.</p>
