The Complete Media Bundle for A Level Sociology offers a full, engaging, and exam-focused set of resources covering every topic required by the specification.

Each topic is supported by comprehensive PowerPoint slides that break down theoretical perspectives (Marxist, Pluralist, Feminist, Postmodernist), key sociologists, and contemporary examples such as streaming services, citizen journalism, media moral panics, and the impact of digital algorithms on consumption. The bundle explores how media both reflects and shapes society, power structures, and identities, and how audiences actively interpret or resist media content. To build exam confidence and critical writing skills, the pack includes connectives worksheets, skills-based activities (e.g. PEEL paragraph practice, media text analysis, theory-application tasks), and essay planning templates. Each major topic comes with a focused podcast episode, offering accessible summaries of key theories, debates, and sociological applications—ideal for independent revision or flipped learning. The question bank features a wide range of exam-style questions and model answers, including 10- and 20-mark essay questions such as “Evaluate the view that media owners control media content for ideological purposes” and “Assess the impact of new media on audience behaviour.” A series of interactive quizzes reinforces key terms, theorists, and concepts through fun and formative assessment. Altogether, this full-course Media bundle equips students with the theoretical depth, real-world application, and analytical skill needed to excel in the media unit of A Level Sociology.
