Institutional research

In this post I am going to be researching the media institution linked to my brief (Dennis publishing) , paying close attention to what type of company they are and the media products they produce. I will also look to see what the companies ethics are and how they are reflected in the products as this can give me ideas on how t link it into my own magazine and website. By doing this research it will help me produce a media product that reflects the style more effectively.

The name of the company I should be making my product for is called Dennis publishing. They were funded in 1974.The media types they produce are print and online media. It is an independent company it is also a parent company and is also apart of a conglomerate. The brands they are involved with are ; the big issue , the week , mincraft world , web user and many more.

This company makes money by publishing text from other companies and selling the magazines. They also are funded by investors. In 2016 Dennis publishing made £15 million in commerce revenue which was up 60% from 2015. They also make money from posting advertisements in the magazines this could cost around £2000 for one page in the week.

The ethos/mission statement for Dennis publishing is to be the most dynamic media company in the UK.They are dedicated to growing Britains best loved media brands ,restlessly innovating across different platforms to bring audiences new sources of inspiration, information and entertainment.

I hope to in my magazine include these values but providing information on topics and showing ways they can find more if they are inspired.

ONLINE CROSS MEDIA PRODUCT - WEBSITE

 https://spalmer607.wixsite.com/mysite Due to the pandemic I was not able to get audio for my website. Therefore I have made a script of what would have been my interview on my website. This would be the interview: Interviewer: How was your school life when you were younger? Did you feel you faced more challenges than other children? ​ Christian:  I have mixed feelings about school. Half of me wants to say it was great I had my friends and I did achieve well. However it wasn't perfect, bullies exist in all schools and mine would always be to do with race. I would be the last to get picked for a team along with some of my class as they didn't want a team with us. We did get left out so I guess we did face more challenges but not by the teachers by the other students. ​ Interviewer:  Would you say it has become less of an issue since you have got older? Would you say there is more equality? ​ Christian :  Obviously historically there is more equality, but people have ...

Statement of intent

  How do you intend to use the four areas of the media theoretical framework to communicate meaning and meet the requirements of your chosen brief? I will be making a current affairs magazine called “New society” by Dennis publishing. I chose the name New society as it relates to the genre of the magazine current affairs as it will discuss topics that are relevant to the new society. This means topics that people aged 16-25 see as relevant and an important current affair. For the first issue of my magazine I will be having a woman wearing a coronavirus mask. This will be a close up of her face to show how everyone can connect with her as the whole world is going through the same pandemic and feeling the fear of the virus. The second issue will be on a male who is suffering depression. This will also be a close up of half his face to show the raw emotion he is going through. The other half is not showing as he is trying to hide his emotions, this is to show how the media usually hid...
