The Media in the English speaking countries

On the 29^th January 2016 we gave presentations about the media in the English speaking countries.

In the first presentation Jola, Martyna and Sylwia told us how Princess Diana’s death has been presented in different media.

At first they focused on television which showed people’s reactions and facts just after the tragedy. The girls presented us one of the ‘’Breaking news’’ right after the car crash.

Then, the group analyzed the ways the newspapers wrote about Princess’s Death. They took daily newspapers, magazines and tabloids to show the differences in covering the tragedy.

Finally, the girls mentioned the radio and the song ‘’Candle in the wind”. The girls showed how Diana’s death captured the media’s attention and they made us aware of the huge impact of the media on our lives. 

The second presentation was prepared by Anna, Monica and David.

They were talking about the most popular American cooking shows: “Masterchef Junior”, “Masterchef”, “Kitchen Nightmares”.

They presented a lot of curiosities about a popular restaurateur : Gordon Ramsay. A magnificent graphic design of the presentation and amusing jokes made us really interested in it. Now we are looking forward to the first Polish edition of “Masterchef junior”.

The next presentation prepared by Monica, Sylwia and Alexandra regarded talk shows broadcast on British and American TV.

            At the beginning we had an opportunity to get to know the short history of this kind of programs. Later we could also discover the differences between morning and afternoon talk shows.

            Then, the girls told us about a show titled “Meet the Press”, which is the first chat show on American TV and has been broadcast since 1947.

            At the end, the girls presented us 10 reasons why people watch talk shows and mentioned the talkshows’ huge impact on our lives. 

Olivia, Ania and Radek prepared for us a presentation in which there was short information about the most famous game shows in the UK. They told us about e.g.: “One to Fifteen”, “The Cube”.

What was interesting and surprising was the fact in Poland we have game shows mostly based on the UK ones.

  

Last but not least were Amanda, Michalina and Paulina. The girls informed us that fashion blogs are blogs that cover the fashion industry, clothing and personal style. Fashion blogs first appeared in the blogosphere prior to 2002. We can call them also “Shopping blogs” because most of the conversation is shopping advice, liberally laced with consumer recommendation. We also learned that a lot of shops have their own blogs like a “PullTheMetal” which is a blog one of the famous shop: Pull&Bear.
One of the most famous blogs are: Man Rapeller, Atlantic Pacific and Nadia Aboulhson.
A lot of bloggers have their account on the Instagram where they can earn from 5000 to 15000 dollars for one post!
On Facebook, they inform they fans about the latest events from they lives.
On Youtube they add a lot of videos like: lookbook, DIY, Q&A, Room Tour, what i ate today, Vlogs, Try On Haul, Get ready with Me etc.
The last part of the presentation showed a famous TV-programme about Fashion bloggers from Australia. The TV-program shows a real life of those

girls, their everyday work at the fashion industry, blog and social media.

We realized that the  English speaking media are pretty similar to Polish once. We live in a global village.
