statement of intent

I intend to make a campaign about protecting young children / teenagers on the internet and awareness of child exploitation that happens online making them vulnerable on it. I will be creating 3 posters all A4 and can also be accessible online as an advert. The target audience for this campaign can be for everyone but its mainly for parent who are worried about their children using social media or the internet, also the campaign spreads awareness to those young children / teenagers before its to late.

For my first poster I will use photoshop to design it. On the poster it will include a cartoon computer and on the screen is a dark figure with red eyes making it look evil. The background will be a dark bedroom with a chair and desk with the computer on top of it, and a young girl / boys head will be facing the computer. The Fonts will be big and bold using the colours red and white. The Text will say “Would you let your child chat to a monster?” implying the monster is the stranger online.

For my second poster I will

regulation – mary whitehouse

Constance Mary Whitehouse was an English teacher and conservative activist. She campaigned against social liberalism and the mainstream British media, both of which she accused of encouraging a more permissive society. She was the founder and first president of the National Viewers’ and Listeners’ Association, through which she led a longstanding campaign against the BBC. A hardline social conservative, she was disparagingly termed a reactionary by her socially liberal opponents. Her motivation derived from her traditional Christian beliefs. She was Christian fundamentalist who spoke against child exploitation 

The Mary Whitehouse story documentary was banned because it exposed footage of the members of the P.I.E and shocked viewers

The Frankfurt school: Group of researchers associated with the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, who applied Marxism to a radical interdisciplinary social theory. The Institute for Social Research was founded by Carl Grünberg in 1923 as an adjunct of the University of Frankfurt; it was the first Marxist-oriented research centre affiliated with a major German university. Max Horkheimer took over as director in 1930 and recruited many talented theorists, including T.W. Adorno, Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse, and Walter Benjamin.

The members of the Frankfurt School tried to develop a theory of society that was based on Marxism and Hegelian philosophy but which also utilized the insights of psychoanalysis, sociology, existential philosophy, and other disciplines. They used basic Marxist concepts to analyze the social relations within capitalist economic systems. This approach, which became known as “critical theory,” yielded influential critiques of large corporations and monopolies, the role of technology, the industrialization of culture, and the decline of the individual within capitalist society. Fascism and authoritarianism were also prominent subjects of study. Much of this research was published in the institute’s journal.

Three types of media ownership

Capitalist media: Corporations content that addresses humans in various social roles and results in meaning-making

Public service media: State-related institutions, content that addresses humans in various social roles and results in meaning – making

Civil society media: Citizen – control, content that addresses humans in various social roles and result in meaning – making

It can be therefore difficult for public and civil society to exist in capitalism.

Cultural industries – The media industry is a risky business

media businesses are reliant upon changing audience tastes continuously adapt making it incredibly difficult to produce material that guarantees satisfaction

products need the oxygen of publicity if they are to thrive , but controlling the messages delivered by reviewers or publicity partners of other companies is very difficult – even if such organisations are owned by the same parent company as the producer

media products have limited consumption capacity, unlike other businesses, films, television and music-based products to be consumed as ‘one off’ purchases. the ‘one off’ nature of production means that the huge sums of cash invested to create media products results in a one-time reward

Horizontal integration: acquiring media companies that operate in similar sectors enables large-scale institutions to achieve scale- based cost savings , while also allowing them to maximise profits by positioning brands so they don’t compete with one other
