Does any one have recommendation or suggestions for revision resources for Media Studies besides the text book?

Seeing the pattern that they had with "let's keep newspapers on one paper and online social media on another" with paper 1 it's not going to be a surprise if they do both again on this paper

Also, the TV section would appear to have a higher chance to be Dr Who given that there has been a modern/modern/Dr who/modern/modern pattern with the shows. Remember to watch the shows again tonight everyone

Ours was actually too loud but then again I was in seat C1 which was pure hell, I had to strain my poor neck to see cry but I'm dead annoyed at the three 20 markers and that 12 marker like wtf fantasy is so random
