Audience theory: blog tasks

Hypodermic Needle Model
1) This article is talking about how the violent video games, e.g. GTA, can have an affect on the younger audience by making them more aggressive. It is also stating that is has a factor on encouraging them to be more violent due to the video games.

 As you can see from the front page of the newspaper, the main headline is that a 15 year old kid had hacked a mobile provider, Talk Talk. However, when the went in depth on this story line, they started to talk about how this 15 year old kid was playing violent video games and rarely leaves his room. The reason why this newspaper company may be criticized is because those two different headings and subheading have no connection between one another. At one point it talks about hacking and the next minute, they start to talk about violent video games and how the 15 year old doesn't leave his room which has no link at all.

Two-step Flow Model
The two step flow model is about how the media has a direct influence on the people today. In my opinion, I think that the two-step flow model is more suitable today than it was when the whole topic started because the media has become more and more popular now than the past. For example, in the past, there were only a couple of TV channels but now there are thousands that people can watch from. Therefore, I beleive the media now have much more they can talk about and be influenced by.

2) The YouTuber is known to be the best PC gamer around and the reason why he belongs in the two-step flow model is because many people may get an idea from this YouTuber and may want to follow his path because of how successful he is.
