[2 marks] In longer-answer questions, you will be assessed on your understanding of the nature of the media industries you have studied, and the relationship between media products , producers and audiences . You will need to answer these with reference to your CSPs. Longer-answer questions, especially the 20-mark question, are likely to refer to contexts of the media : historical, social, cultural or political. For example, a question could ask about the changing audience for music radio ( historical context ) with reference to the two radio CSPs.
