Firstly, they heard talks about how new and digital media affect the consumption of news and other informative texts. They also participated in a Q&A with a director of an independent film about the government in Iceland. After lunch the students saw a  screening of 'Ingrid Goes West', a film about the negative side of the accessibility of information on social media.

Emily Bell, Media Studies teacher, added:

“The students learnt about Media and Democracy "we media" - how audiences are become prosumers, not consumers, and we applied this to news and subcultures. We looked at specific case studies for examinations and then we watched 'Ingrid Goes West' a film about someone who follows their Instagram star across the USA in order to mimic her personality.”
