Unit 3.2 Permanent present- Radio 5 Live
Hey fellow internet users.
Within in this post I am going to be talking about the permanent present. Permanent present is about the current evens that are happening in the daily lives of the worlds population.
An example for Permanent present would be British gas's prices of have gone up 10.4% by this December 2013 since last year, this has caused a moral panic across the United Kingdom as many customers are angry and up set of the expense that they will have to go throw to keep warm this winter. You will hear many other arguments like this on Radio 5 Live. Radio 5 Live talk about the top heading news that you will find on the front of the Evening news or The Times. They include many interviews of worried customers that are effected from these issues. The theme of this radio show is hard hitting news for the community such as property prices which shows an interview with a worried woman that lives in London which is wanting to be able to buy a house to is too expensive and is having to live in an apartment. An inter view with a young man from Surrey is talking about having to save up to be able to get a mortgage. He talks about his wages not being high enough and is having to consider thinking about moving somewhere else in the country to be able to buy a house.

Unit 3.2 Hegemony
Hey fellow internet users.
In my post I am going to be talking about 'hegemony'. The definition of Hegemony is a political form of leadership and ideological domination that creates power of society. "Hegemony is the political leadership and idenlogical domination of society"P361. Hegemony is a false conscience for example for a teenager, such as programmes which are Towie, Gordie shore or the XFactor they create a certain image that teenagers will start to follow without realising that they are copping these stars that they are watching on television. Simon Cowell has a large part in this as he creates an image on the XFactor which many people will find appealing and will start going into shops like Topshop and H&M which have especially factored for this type of style. this type of life style is being sold to us so that the people at the top are making money.

Unit 3.2 Counter culture
Hey fellow internet users.
Counter culture is a definition for someone that is involved in a creative response for a peer group, someone that does not follow rules and the norms that are pushed into them by their parents. "Ultimately the 'lads' are socialised effectively, but socialisation involves the creative response of a peer group rather than the passive acceptance of rules and norm imposed of them by adults" P688. An example for counter culture would be 'mods', 'indie', 'chavs', 'punks' and many more socials groups. These different social groups will have a different form of style such as mods are known for their certain type of style of clothing an example would be a tailor made suit. They are also known for driving motor cycles which were usually a Lambretta or a Vespa. The type of music that mods would listen to would have been smooth jazz, soul and blues. As someone who is stereotyped as an Indie, the typical indie would usually listen to alternative rock, they are known for their low budget clothing. Counter culture can also cause a moral panic as issues may be caused within these different social groups that others might not agree on.

Unit 3.2 Moral Panic
Hey fellow internet users.
Within this post I am going to talk about moral panic in the media industry. The meaning of moral panic is a disagreement with issues of a certain event that could effect and alarm the social population. An example of moral panic would be Miley Cyrus. Miley Cyrus is a large part of moral panic in the media at the moment as she is creating music videos where she is only half dressed. As a parent you would start to worry about what your child is watching as your child might start to mimic Miley Cyrus with her dress sense and her actions. This is a coming of age act for Miley Cyrus. As she grows up, her audience grows up with her.

Unit 3.2 Review sheet
Hello fellow internet users.
When evaluating the podcast I created a review sheet asking questions such as how would you rate the podcast out of 1-10, 1 being excellent and 10 being very bad. I also asked a round of media students what they would say about the format that is used, what would they say about the quality of the questions and the quality of the answers that were received. At the end of my review I also ask how would they improve the podcast if it was to be created again.

Unit 3.2 Desert island disc
Hello fellow internet users.
When researching on the style of formats that will be used in To be a presenter I listened to several podcast from desert island disc. The reason why I am most intrigued in this particular podcast of Desert island disc is because it links in with the genre idea that I have for my production. In this podcast Kirsty Young has interviewed the TV presenters Ant and Dec.
The techniques that Kirsty Young has used in this podcast with Ant and Dec is that her interview is semi structured so that she is able to get Ant and Decs full response on her questions about the past and why they have chosen the song that they have chosen. The desert island disc plays each song roughly around a minute long with Kirtsy telling the audience who was playing.
