Assignment 1

For our first assignment we have been asked to choose an example of 'media activism' and research the ways in which the media industry reacted and was effected. We have decided to research the film 'An Inconvenient Truth'. The film features Al Gore who ran a major campaign in which he raised awareness for global warming by presenting a comprehensive slide show. Among other things we will be focusing on how the film influeced media content and practice and how it changed the relationship of audience and media.
