I need to get a top band answer on this question but I'm slightly stuck.this is AQA A level sociology,so please only answer if you took media as a topic in sociology,thanks in advance.
Item N
The growth of new media in contemporary society has led some sociologists to
reconsider some of the issues they study, such as the relationship between the media
and their audiences and the importance of ownership and control of the media. They
argue that new explanations are needed because new media are different from old
media, such as television and newspapers.
However, others argue that the early theories about old media, such as pluralism and
Marxism, can also be applied to new media.
Applying material from Item N and your knowledge, evaluate the usefulness of early
media theories in explaining the role of the new media in contemporary society.
