In this 25-minute video, VCE Media teacher Brett Lamb discusses the dynamic and changing relationship between media and audiences. This video is a terrific primer for teaching the aspects of 'Agency and Control in and of the Media' as part of VCE Media Unit 4.

The video looks at the complex relationship between media and audiences, including the shifting power dynamic between individuals and institutions; the rise of participatory culture; claims of audience agency; traditional means of distribution versus spreadability; and new modes of consumption and reception, focusing on television.
