Absolutely every A level media studies theory

In this video I cover all nineteen theories on the EDUQAS A-level media studies specification in (just over) half an hour!
Click here for an index of all the theories and subheadings in this video: lr-media.blogspot.com/2020/12...
Remember: by covering these theories in such brief detail, I am doing each and every theorist a huge disservice. If you would like to know more, you should check out my other videos, my blog at lr-media.blogspot.com, which has articles on every theory and a handy revision guide which covers the whole of the A-level media studies course.
I also strongly recommend Mark Dixon's excellent book Media Theory for A Level: The Essential Revision Guide, which covers all nineteen theories in significantly more detail, and proves an excellent jumping off point to the real point of all this: reading the original books by the theorists themselves!
