WWW: This essay starts well with good focus on the question. It’s good to see you using the wording from the question in the opening paragraph (“consumption and production”). Your next paragraph on the decline of the newspaper industry follows on nicely from this and also considers audience consumption.

EBI: Overall, though, this is nowhere near enough for a MEST3 Section B essay. Think about the topics we’ve covered this term: how news consumption has changed (Ofcom report), paywalls and the future of journalism, journalism as a social good, citizen journalism, hyperreality and UGC, news values etc. You barely address any of this and don’t offer detailed examples for the topics you do cover.
