Contextual Studies
The bord context of creative media production influences us by inspection, they do this through tv, magazines, newspapers, blogs, films and virals. As the list continues , I will be talking about how a company within the tv industry could take the right of a filmmaker and change it up. In doing this there will be things mentioned like control, distribution models, television and marketing. With discussing the point there will be a well researched graph on BBC and how they would treat there clientel.
Does the media control people with wishful thinking ?
Coperate control direct authority to make some intent within the coperation, it is a concern which operates and stratigises planning such as capital allocations,acquisition and diverstments. They make desisions like how to cleverly market, whats the production like, is it eye catching, unique and who would it target mostly, they would then look at financial desicions. This is baised on how they would apply to the public for trader companies to get noticed.The concept of coperate control is similar to coperarte governance, this is noramlly used as a broad sense. Governance involves the more wider approach in interworking from a day to day managment like the board of directors, the shareholders and other parties to formalise a performance from the stratagy within the corporate. To look up for infor this is a link on corporate control.

Some tv programs like tv3, RTE have the right to change you stuff if you video or documentary is unnecessary or if there is propaganda or they will show it after 10:00 0 clock if it is not suitable for young viewers.
Back in 1983, around 50 corporations controlled the majority of all media in the United States. Nowadays, ownership of the news media has been concentrated in the hands of just six powerful media corporations. These corporate control most of what we watch, hear and read every single day. They own television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites. Sadly, most Americans don't even stop to think about who is feeding them the endless hours of news and entertainment that see over and over again. Some Americans don't really seem to care about who owns the media. The truth is that each of us are and can be influenced by the messages that we take from programs to the mainstream media,. The average American watches in around 153 hours of television a month. Americans begin to feel physically uncomfortable if they go too long without watching or listening to something. Sadly, most Americans have become absolutely addicted to news and entertainment and the ownership of all that news and entertainment that we crave is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands each year.
Why is this though due to the attraction of the film clips some corporations stick to specific genres.
The six corporations that collectively control U.S. media today are Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., CBS Corporation and NBC Universal. Together, the "big six" absolutely dominate news and entertainment in the United States. But even those areas of the media that the "big six" do not completely control are becoming increasingly concentrated. For example, Clear Channel now owns over 1000 radio stations across the United States. Companies like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are increasingly dominating the Internet.
But it is the "big six" that are the biggest concerns. When you control what Americans watch, hear and read you gain a great deal of control over what they think. They don't call it "programming" for nothing.
Back in 1983 it was bad enough that about 50 corporations dominated U.S. media. But since that time, power over the media has rapidly become concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people....
In 1983, fifty corporations dominated most of every mass medium and the biggest media merger in history was a $340 million deal. … [I]n 1987, the fifty companies had shrunk to twenty-nine. … [I]n 1990, the twenty-nine had shrunk to twenty three. … [I]n 1997, the biggest firms numbered ten and involved the $19 billion Disney-ABC deal, at the time the biggest media merger ever. … [In 2000] AOL Time Warner’s $350 billion merged corporation [was] more than 1,000 times larger [than the biggest deal of 1983].

However, the Concentration of media ownership is mostly seen as a problem of contemporary media and society. When media ownership is concentrated in one or more of the ways mentioned above, a number of undesirable consequences follow, including the following:
- Commercially driven, ultra-powerful mass market media is primarily loyal to sponsors, i.e. advertisers and government rather than to the public interest.
- Only a few companies representing the interests of a minority elite control the public airwaves
- Healthy, market-based competition is absent, leading to slower innovation and increased prices.

Some media, primarily consists of television, newspapers, radio, and magazines. Since 2000, the Internet has emerged as an important communications medium. You can catch up those programs that you have missed.
Since the founding of the people republic of China around 1949 until the 1980s, some of was media in China and were state-run. For the Independents within the media it began to emerge at the onset of reforms, although state-run media outlets such as Xinhua, CCTV, and People's Daily continue to hold significant market share. Independent media that operate within the PRC this is excluding Hong Kong and Macao, which have separate media regulatory bodies) are no longer required to strictly follow journalistic guidelines set by the government. Hong Kong though witnessing increasing complaints about self-censorship. However, regulatory agencies, such as the General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP) and the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television (SARFT), continue to set strict regulations on subjects considered taboo by the government, including but not limited to the legitimacy of the Communist Party, government policies in Tibet and Xinjiang, pornography, and the banned spiritual group Falun Gong. In spite of heavy government monitoring, however, Chinese media has become increasingly commercialized, with growing competition, diversified content, and an increase in investigative reporting. Areas such as sports, finance, and an increasingly lucrative entertainment industry face little regulation from the government. Media controls were most relaxed during the 1980s under Deng Xiaoping, until they were tightened in the aftermath of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests. They were relaxed again under Jiang ZeminJiang in the late 1990s, but the growing influence of the Internet and its potential to encourage dissent led to heavier regulations again under the government of Hu JintaoHu . Some reporters would do it without boarders for a consistent rank, China would be deprived on media within their annual releases of the Press Freedom Index,So if you were to call the Chinese Government as having "the sorry distinction of leading the world in repression of the Internet''. It took For around 2010, China ranked 168 out of 178 nations. To get there reception of media to catch up in technology.
The government is involved in the media in the PRC, and the largest media organizations CCTVthe People's Daily and Xinhua, these are agencies of the Party-Stateand are the first social responsibility and professional ethic of media staff that should be understanding their role clearly and being a good mouthpiece. Journalists who think of themselves as professionals, instead of as propaganda workers, are making a fundamental mistake about identity," Hu Zhanfan, the president of CCTV. Media includes topics such as the legitimacy of theCommunist Party of China, the governance of Tibet, and Falun Gong. Within those restrictions there is a diversity of the media and fairly open discussion of social issues and policy options within the parameters set by the Party.
The diversity in mainland Chinese media is partly because most State media outlets that are no longer heavily small by the government, and are expected to pay for themselves through commercial advertising. Among social issues the press of mainland, China first reported in the AIDS epidemic in Henan province, the unsafe state of mines in mainland China. In addition, the coverup SARS was first revealed by a fax to CCTV which was forwarded to Western news media.
Television
In 1978, the PRC had less than one television receiver per 100 people, and fewer than ten million Chinese had access to a television set. According to a world bank report in 2003, there are about 35 TVs for every 100 people. Roughly a billion Chinese have access to television. Similarly, in 1965 there were 12 television and 93 radio stations in mainland China; today there are approximately 700 conventional television stations—plus about 3,000 cable channels—and 1,000 radio stations.
Television broadcasting is controlled by China Central Televsion (CCTV), with its 22 program channels,this is the country's only national network. CCTV, which employs about 10,000 people and has an annual income of ¥1.12 million yuan (2012,=$177 million U.S. dollars), falls under the dual supervision of the Propaganda Department,this is responsible for media content, and the State Administration of Radio, film and television that oversees operations. A Vice Minister in the latter ministry serves as chairman of CCTV. The network's principal directors and other officers are appointed by the State. So are the top officials at local conventional television stations in mainland China—nearly all of which are restricted to broadcasting within their own province or municipality—that receive CCTV broadcasts.
CCTV produces its own news broadcasts three times a day and is the country's most powerful and prolific television program producer. It also has a monopoly on purchases of programming from overseas. All local stations are required to carry CCTV's 7 pm main news broadcast; an internal CCTV survey indicates that nearly 500 million people countrywide regularly watch this program.
Even if CCTV is the most powerful network of mainland China, it has only about 30% of audience share all over the national territory. The fact shows how the Chinese viewers are biased in favour of local TV programs, that are more likely to represent the differences of an audience that is the largest in the world, more than the national or even international programs, that can hardly attend the needs of such a wide public.
Since September 1, 2006, the Chinese government has banned foreign-produced animation between the hours of 5:00 to 8:00 pm on state-run television to protect struggling Chinese animation studios that have been affected by the popularity of such cartoons.

Media Representation
Representation is where producers make judgements on how some aspects of the media are portrayed. For example, people, places, objects, events, cultural identities and other abstract concepts. Things such as age and gender affect these decisions. An example of a negative representation is a place such as Mossside near Manchester. We see Mossside as dangerous place, we associate it with the black community and also with guns, crime and violence. We have this negative perspective on such a place because of how it is exampled in the media. On the news, it's likely to see gun crime that has took place in this certain area, although some things may not be true this is how it is perceived by us therefore, makes a negative representation of the people who live there and the area
Pastime reserved for the hardcore. You see, most gamers don't have unlimited funds, and are disappointed if their most recent $50 investment doesn't require and reward a month's worth of attention. However, thanks to the gradual demise of Nintendo Hard over the years, it's becoming increasingly difficult to milk that kind of commitment out of most new games, which can be completed in a weekend without much effort (well, by the hardcore).

A Self-imposed Challenge is a playthrough of a game wherein the player plays under a restriction not required by the game itself in an attempt to increase the difficulty (or immersion) and replay value. These restrictions can range from the fairly simple (a refusal to make use of a Game Breaker , for example) to the near-impossible, Hey, can you beat Super Mario Bros. Without pressing the "B" button. Check a message board for a game that's been out for a while and you'll undoubtedly find players reporting on their progress in various exotic Self-Imposed Challenges.
Gamers will occasionally record these runs and post them on various archive sites. As noted above, the rise of Casual Gamers make these even more of a dedicated pastime than ever before.
