PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A WORK BOOKLET- NOT AN INFORMATION BOOKLET. This interactive booklet is designed to help A-Level Media Studies students organise and consolidate their understanding of key media theories required for the Eduqas specification. Covering Media Language, Representation, Audience, and Industry, it provides structured spaces for students to summarise theories, apply them to set texts, and discuss their strenghts and weaknesses.

Media Theory Top Trumps is a card game featuring key media theorists and their influential ideas. Each card showcases a different theorist, with categories such as ‘Complexity,’ ‘Usefulness,’ and ‘Influence’ to compare and rank their contributions. Players compete to collect the highest-scoring cards, using their knowledge of media theory to determine which theorist’s ideas are most significant across different areas, including representation, audience, industry, and media language. Ideal for media students and enthusiasts, this game offers both fun and an educational way to engage with essential media theories. Learners are expected to explain the theory before they are able to place the card.

This booklet is designed to help A-Level Media Studies students apply key media theories to the Eduqas set texts with confidence and clarity. Covering Media Language, Representation, Audience, and Industry, it provides structured guidance on how to link theorists such as Stuart Hall, Jean Baudrillard, Judith Butler, and David Hesmondhalgh to specific media products.
