Media Effects


The idea that people might imitate behaviour they have seen in the mass media is strongly diffused. It has had a great success among many scholars, even if  the model is often based on studies with misapplied methodology and is not grounded in theory. The reasons why are a lot. Here you can find an article by David Gauntlett (in his website) about "Ten things wrong with the media 'effects' model". I agree with Gauntlett's analysis; so, please, read it.

Representing Identities
Media and Everyday Life


Video lectures (in YouTube) made by David Gauntlett (a friend and colleague of University of Westminster). Excellent examples of innovative and powerful didactic efforts.
