Feedback:

• Nice visual starter with logos through the years- reasonably engaging and gets response from class.
• Solid history and not covered in too much detail which maintains a good pace
• Some good detail and media language - different channels and niche audiences
• Broadband is an important part of business model
• Perhaps lacking a little rehearsal - the context is there (influence slide being an example) but lacking a little confidence in delivery.
• I'd like more on government influence - Rupert Murdoch has been a major influence on British Media and politics for many years

WWW:

• Had a brief background on BSkyB without having to write too much which may have bored the class
• Our starter engaged everyone in the class
• Talked about the different channels and the channels created for niche audiences .i.e. Sky Atlantic

EBI:

• We wrote more about the influence and broadband services and gave more information.
• Had some confidence in presenting our work to our class
• More information on Rupert Murdoch
