Across
- 2. The Times is owned by News UK, the company of Rupert ---, for decades one of the most powerful people in the world, not least the UK, where he has used his newspapers for political influence.
- 5. The left-wing red-top/tabloid Daily Mirror is owned by ---, a conglomerate which also owns the right-wing Daily Star (tabloid) and Daily Express (mid-market).
- 6. Beauty vlogger --- also vlogs under her actual name!
- 9. The exam board tend to pick ‘binary opposite’ or contrasting CSPs for each industry, and upmarket --- is certainly a contrast with Reveal, with a much wealthier ABC1 primary female audience – reflected in the lack of attention drawn to the (much higher!) price!
- 10. Through Syco, One Direction are ultimately tied to one of the Big --- conglomerates that dominate the global music industry (Sony; think WUS!).
- 12. One of the basic differences between the media language of the original 1963 Dr Who and the 2016 spin-off Class is the use of the former’s long --- (the length of time a shot stays on screen before a cut) compared to the latter’s fast-paced editing
- 14. Doctor Strange is an example of the media F-word! The --- model has utterly dominated the film industry for decades. Original major hits do occur, but are the exception – and, like Avatar, are typically then developed into a ---!.
- 16. The Arctic Monkeys are a classic example of the media C-word, convergence (part of DDC!), using the new media platform --- to self-promote online and become a high level success as an Indie act
- 17. The BBC has been attacked by OfCom, 50 years after it was forced to launch R1 to cater to the youth audience, for failing the youth audience – moving BBC3 online-only is now seen as a mistake based on the false assumption that the entire youth audience use time--- for viewing.
- 19. As a downmarket tabloid celebrity gossip magazine with a primary C2DE female audience, Reveal is highly price sensitive – the cover price of ---p is prominently splashed over the cover!
- 20. The Tomb Raider franchise is notorious for spending so much R+D money on animating the game protagonist’s outsize chest; while it seems to offer a countertype of a female action hero it also leans on the male gaze and gender stereotypes – though the --- Go game has ditched the openly sexualised marketing of the past.
- 22. Zoella has a range of businesses linked to her brand, including ---, “New video effects + filter app for iOS”
Down
- 1. The Omo ad reflects the wider social context of the conscious campaign by the American establishment to push women to accept a narrow --- role of housekeeping and child-rearing as they had before the factory shortages of WW2, and to give up on professional careers.
- 3. The NHS ad is a government campaign to encourage more BAME (black, Asian, ethnic minority) Britons to donate blood, fronted by female grime star ---.
- 4. Class was typical of the modern era in being an international co-production between the BBC and BBC --- (which did a much better job of scheduling and promoting the show, which was cancelled after just 1 season!)
- 6. Whereas the Zoella Instagram has 1.1m followers, the --- Insta has 9.1m!
- 7. Kim Kardashian’s game/app includes tie-ins with prestigious fashion and design labels like ---, whose Olivier Rousteing designed clothes and accessories for the game.
- 8. Julie Adenuga DJs on Apple’s --- 1 (which was rebranded as Apple Music 1 in August 2020)
- 11. The BBC was forced by government pressure to launch Radio 1 (with the Tony Blackburn kicking it off) as it was failing to serve the youth population, but also to try to smash the --- radio stations like Radio Luxembourg and Radio Caroline, broadcasting without a UK license.
- 13. I, Daniel Blake is a social realist movie by the legendary auteur director ---.
- 15. The Kim Kardashian --- game has raked in well over $100m since its 2014 launch. It’s a neat example of exploiting the understanding of even modern audiences reflected in the old media ‘uses and gratifications’ theory: fans want to identify with her, engage in escapism and socially interact (arguably the fashion choices in the game/app also cover information – so, all 4 of the PIES categories).
- 18. Zoella notoriously sold a 12-day advent calendar for a whopping £---! She has multiple tie-ins with big retail chains like Boots and WH Smith and mass media brands like Richard and Judy, including a range of books as well as make-up products.
- 21. The Galaxy ad cleverly uses a mix of nostalgia and the connotations (symbolism) of classic film as timeless/quality by featuring Audrey Hepburn from her 1953 film A --- Holiday (using CGI).
