Boy stabbed to death over the place he lived 

Jaydon James was out with his friends in Coventry when he was attacked then later died in hospital. He had only turned 16 with the rest of his life ahead of him and his sister confirmed that he was targeted simply because of his postcode. She described him as "sweetest, funniest most kind-hearted boy".

Soft or Hard News?

This is an example of hard news seeing as there was a stabbing and death involved. The actions of one person led to the death of another and the grief of family and friends which makes it 100% hard news  

Click bait or Quality Journalism?

In my opinion this is quality journalism seeing as it is a very severe topic and was not published simply for the entertainment of the audience. It is a very sensitive article and is not advertised in a way to make people read for diversion

Media Paper 1 PPE - Learner response

1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to). WWW : Good, clear writing with some of the media terminology  EBI: Basic timing- you must answer all questions - revision will help! 2) Did you succeed in meeting or exceeding your target grade for A Level Media? If not, how many additional marks do you need to achieve your target grade in this paper? No, I needed atleast 19 marks in order to achieve my target grade. We don't know exactly what grade boundaries AQA will set as this is a new specification. These are the boundaries we've used, based on last year's A Level exam but reduced slightly to account for the new specification (out of 84):    A* = 78; A = 68; B = 56; C = 44; D = 32; E = 21.
