About Media Industries, Institutions and Ownership

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

This page brings together material on who makes media, who owns it and how it is controlled. Many flashcard decks follow the BTEC and Creative iMedia style of study. The deck iMedia job roles and sectors asks you to name the stages of production, plus technical, creative and senior job roles. The deck on digital media sectors and audiences covers terms such as synergy, tabloids and broadsheets, and who owns The Sun.

Ownership and theory

For deeper ideas, look at the deck on trends in ownership and control of the mass media. The Sociology a2 revision notes deck covers horizontal integration, vertical integration, diversification, synergy, technological convergence and pluralist theory. The Political Economy Communication mind map brings in Smythe, Mosco and Melody, the consciousness industry and the power of advertising.

Where to start

  1. Begin with iMedia job roles and sectors to learn the basic vocabulary.
  2. Move to CDM Revision PP Questions, which covers regulators such as Ofcom, the ASA, PEGI and the BBFC.
  3. Read the mind maps called Ownership and Ownership and Control of Media to see how the ideas connect.
  4. Finish with case studies such as the BBC mind map and the Magazine Industry decks on The Big Issue, Men's Health and Empire.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first, then take a quiz such as The Media September Recap Quiz or Unit 1: Media Production & Regulation. Note the questions you miss and go back to the matching map or deck. Repeat until the terms feel familiar.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the Media Industries and Regulation strand of Media studies. The resources mention GCSE Media Studies, A-level Media Studies, Creative iMedia and BTEC courses, so you can match them to your own course.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the flashcard deck iMedia job roles and sectors. It covers the stages of production, types of media and job roles, which gives you the vocabulary for the rest of the page. After that, try the deck on digital media sectors and audiences.

What do the mind maps cover?

The mind maps range from Ownership, Media Institutions and Funding of Organisations in Media Industries to the BBC, the Polish Media System and Political Economy Communication. Some are lecture maps on cultural industries and digitalisation, so you can choose between exam-style and university-style material.

Which exams do these resources suit?

The listed resources mention GCSE Media Studies, A-level Media Studies, Creative iMedia and several BTEC Media courses. Most are at secondary level, with some university lecture material on ownership, power and political economy. Check your own course requirements before relying on any one resource.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking them against your own course materials.

Can I save my quiz scores or make my own resources?

A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. You could turn a deck on synergy or ownership into a quiz of your own and test yourself on it.

What if the topic I need is missing?

Try a nearby resource first. Ownership and Control, Media Institutions and the regulation notes overlap with many topics. If the gap remains, make your own mind map or flashcards and fill it yourself.
