A: I don't really read any daily newspaper but I get my sources from everyone else talking about something that has happened or I sometimes stumble upon news posted on social media. Q: What sections of newspapers do you turn to first, and why? A:I don't really turn to any section of newspaper and when i do read a newspaper i just flick through it. Q: What sections do you never read, and why? A: If there's any sections that I do not like to read it's news about celebrities because I just find it boring.

How many hours do you spend online in an average day? Is this too little, too much or about right? Why?

I think I spend around 6-5 hours a day on weekdays which I believe is way too much because, majority of the time, that's the only thing I do apart from going to school, sleeping and eating.

What is your favourite ever TV series?

My most favourite TV series most definitely has to be Rick and Morty, even though the series hasn't finished and I haven't seen many other TV series, I strongly believe rick and morty is the best.

What was the last film you watched?

The last film I think I watched was captain america: civil war and I know this is kinda old but I don't have the time to watch a lot of films

What media sources do you use to find out about news and current affairs?

I use instagram and youtube to find out about news mostly, and I do appreciate the fact that others spread news over social media because it really does reach those that do not want to go on mainstream news outlets.

What do you think the biggest media story of 2017 has been and why?

I think that the biggest media story of 2017 is pewdiepie saying the N word on live stream. This is one of the biggest media story of 2017 because pewdiepie has the largest amount of subscribers on youtube and a large sum of people were watching his stream as he said it, for him to say that word shows how he has made the biggest mistake ever in his career because the damage is permanent. But then again, he did apologize and tried to show everyone he did not mean to say it which shows he has earned some redemption more or less.

What are your current thoughts about your next steps after A Levels - university, apprenticeship, work?

I honestly want to do apprenticeship or take a gap year straight after I finished sixth form because from apprenticeships, you can earn money, experience and a qualification  whereas university only offers qualifications and maybe some experience but I have changed my mind about things before so who knows, maybe in the future, I might go uni instead.

What grade do you hope to achieve in A Level Media?

I really hope to achieve at least a B, anything less is disappointing because I believe I should have enough skill to pass and achieve better.

Did you take GCSE Media Studies (either here at Greenford or a different school)?

I did not take GCSE media studies. However, I completed a task for my media teacher to prove that I am have enough skill to take on A level media.

Why did you choose A levels media studies?

I chose A levels media because it correlates with my passion for youtube and its a bonus to get a extra A level in media if i manage to pass
