LO1 Test

 

Q2: [2/3] Identify one act of legislation that is applicable to the creation of a new national newspaper and explain what the impact is. A2: Copyright is needed when creating a newspaper, it ensures stories and the name (of the newspaper) are not stolen from rival newspapers. Furthermore, the copyright will protect your newspaper from others using the same content as you, therefore ensuring your information is exclusive for those readers who purchased your newspaper.

Q4:[0/3] Identify one type of revenue stream that you could consider to make a website profitable and explain why this might be an effective method. A4: Sponsorships are a viable option as a revenue stream for websites, they often include sponsored content on their website, hidden within the different articles. This will allow both companies to benefit, the sponsoring company would benefit from expanding its awareness and the website would be able to gain funding from the sponsorship. 

Q5: [3/6] Identify two ethical issues that you would need to consider before your team develops ideas for a documentary on refugees. Explain how these will impact on the project. A5: An ethical issue you could face might be using the real names of your interviewees. While they may give permission and therefore allow it by law, they may not realise the potential consequences of this. Interestingly, it can lead to an invasion of privacy which poses a more serious ethical issue for the subjects of the documentary. Additionally, it could endanger them as the reason they left their home was due to danger and therefore could further put them at risk. (SECOND PART OF QUESTION GOT FULL MARKS)
