This A Level resource bundle on New Media in Society explores the rapid rise of digital communication technologies and their profound impact on culture, identity, power, and social life. The PDF summary defines key features of new media—interactivity, convergence, user-generated content, and global reach—while outlining contrasting sociological perspectives including Marxist, Postmodernist, Pluralist, and Cultural Optimist vs Pessimist views. The PowerPoint presentation unpacks these ideas using real-world examples such as social media platforms, citizen journalism, online activism, digital surveillance, and the digital divide, while integrating theory and debate throughout.
To support evaluative writing and theoretical understanding, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills-focused activities such as theory-application grids, timed paragraph drills, and structured evaluation tasks. A dedicated podcast episode explores how new media shapes identity, participation, and social movements, drawing on examples like cancel culture, digital democracy, and echo chambers.
The question bank provides a range of exam-style questions with model responses, including topics like “Evaluate the view that new media empowers the audience” and “Assess the impact of new media on traditional sources of authority.” An interactive quiz reinforces core definitions, theories, and examples through engaging and applied formats. Altogether, this resource bundle equips students to critically analyse the transformative role of new media in contemporary society

A Level Sociology: Media Bundle 7192/2 AQA

The Complete Media Bundle for A Level Sociology offers a full, engaging, and exam-focused set of resources covering every topic required by the specification. It enables students to master the sociological study of the media through in-depth PDF summaries, visually dynamic PowerPoint presentations, and a range of skills-based and assessment-focused materials. Core content areas include: Media Ownership and Control, The New Media, Globalisation and the Media, Media Representations (of class, gender, ethnicity, age, and disability), Media Content and Audiences, and Media Effects and Audience Theories. Each topic is supported by comprehensive PowerPoint slides that break down theoretical perspectives (Marxist, Pluralist, Feminist, Postmodernist), key sociologists, and contemporary examples such as streaming services, citizen journalism, media moral panics, and the impact of digital algorithms on consumption. The bundle explores how media both reflects and shapes society, power structures, and identities, and how audiences actively interpret or resist media content. To build exam confidence and critical writing skills, the pack includes connectives worksheets, skills-based activities (e.g. PEEL paragraph practice, media text analysis, theory-application tasks), and essay planning templates. Each major topic comes with a focused podcast episode, offering accessible summaries of key theories, debates, and sociological applications—ideal for independent revision or flipped learning. The question bank features a wide range of exam-style questions and model answers, including 10- and 20-mark essay questions such as “Evaluate the view that media owners control media content for ideological purposes” and “Assess the impact of new media on audience behaviour.” A series of interactive quizzes reinforces key terms, theorists, and concepts through fun and formative assessment. Altogether, this full-course Media bundle equips students with the theoretical depth, real-world application, and analytical skill needed to excel in the media unit of A Level Sociology. It’s ideal for teachers delivering the course or students seeking a structured, content-rich, and engaging way to revise.
