why do people talk such rubbish about media studies?
Some used the excuse of Homer Simpson in order to stop schools from teaching and showing the Simpson's. Simpson's replaced the idea of teaching Shakespeare and the claimed that the school followed the national curriculum and by studying Simpson's enabled students to become critical and analytic of moving images and gain a better understanding of audiences and narrative. "studying the opening of Dickens Great Expectations is just as challenging as studying the opening of The Simpson's".
