Part B – Reading 1

Read the text attentively.

There’s no doubt the media consumption landscape has shifted and so has the way we consume
media nowadays. The days where the only options to reach the masses were through print or broadcast are
long gone. However, even if traditional media is not as strong as it once was, it still occupies an important
place in the media landscape.

5 Newspapers
These poor guys have been through the wringer, but luckily, they have managed to adapt to
consumer’s needs. The most popular form of print media still has its place in today’s media mix, and all we
have to do to prove it is look around. People are still reading newspapers on public transport or sitting in
cafés or public gardens with their newspaper wide open. This could be because newspapers still rank among
10 the highest in terms of media credibility, not to mention their vital role among the older and smaller
communities.

Radio
The introduction of the radio in 1906 took one person’s voice to thousands
and it still is easily accessible to most people, in this day and age. It continues to be
the companion that helps so many people get through long days at work and makes
15 house chores just a little more bearable. It doesn't require any form of monthly
subscription, making it a free alternative when most other services are becoming
increasingly costly.

Television
Television still dominates our media consumption. According to data analytics, the amount of time
we watch TV has declined over the last few years, but this has only been by a few minutes. What has shifted
20 dramatically is the delivery and consumption of TV content. In addition, as television is highly visual, it also
represents one of the highest impacts in media. It’s worth noting that it can help introduce youth to movie
culture, through classic or foreign movies, which they might never watch otherwise.

All in all, traditional media is not dead and it still plays an important role in a healthy media mix.
Ultimately, everybody has their preferences when it comes to consuming content, but bridging the gap
25 between traditional and digital channels might be the key to a successful media plan. And the truth is that, for
many people, traditional media is like pasta on an Italian menu. No matter how many dishes may be on the
menu, you always end up ordering the same old classic dish that you so adore.

Matthew
With the frequent use of social media, it’s rare for any social gathering to happen without someone posting something about it. Almost every day, I come
across a post on my social media feed of someone doing something cooler or having more fun than I am. It makes me feel bad, and I’m sure I’m not
alone. I find it hard to see friends having fun without me and it’s even worse when I’m watching the event in real-time. Thanks to the map feature that
most apps have, you can see peoples’ locations even if they don’t post anything on their stories. Ultimately, it’s hard for my generation to be discreet
about where we are and who we’re with.
Leah
Social media can really take a toll on us. It can be difficult to see a stream of pictures featuring a perfect version of people and their lives. Of course,
some people pretend they are living the dream when in fact they just feel miserable most of the time. But I can’t hide the fact that it just makes my life
seem so plain. While this can be difficult for boys, I think that girls face even more social pressure. I’ve seen the consequences of some girls feeling
that they have to look skinny no matter what. Bulimia and anorexia have become a fact of life for them.
Matilde
My mother frequently expresses concern about me taking selfies, thinking I do this out of vanity or self-obsession; but, I mostly do it out of pure habit or
boredom. She can’t seem to understand that for many teens, including myself, sending a selfie is just something that one does. I’m not going to lie
that I don’t carefully choose the photos I look best in and that I sometimes edit or filter them, but then again, who doesn’t, right?
Henry
People my age spend a large portion of their lives on social media and have to deal with the stress that this implies. We’re used to this additional stress
that comes with finding out how many likes our posts get, why someone unfollowed us or even cases of cyberbullying. Social media is ingrained in
my generation and it can be very difficult to take a break from it. Features like “streaks” and stories that expire in 24 hours keep us hooked on our
phones, day in day out

Listening script 2
There are lots of videos that show people doing things they never did before. Real people, real faces, close to photorealistic footage, but entirely unreal
events. They are called deepfake videos and represent the 21st century’s answer to Photoshopping. They use a form of artificial intelligence called
deep learning to make images of fake events. This technology can do amazing things with pictures, including sharpening up fuzzy ones or adding
colour to black and white images.
15,000 deepfake videos were found online in September 2019 by DeepTrace, an Artificial Intelligence firm that keeps track of digital information. This
number nearly doubled over the next nine months. A staggering number of mapped faces belong to celebrities and public figures. As new techniques
allow unskilled people to make deepfakes with a handful of photos, fake videos are likely to spread beyond the celebrity world.
Did you know that audio can be deepfaked too, to create “voice skins” or “voice clones” of public figures? There was a case in which a firm transferred
nearly £200,000 into a Hungarian bank account after receiving a phone call by a fraudster who mimicked its CEO’s voice. The company’s insurers
believe the voice was a deepfake.
However, not all deepfakes are malicious. For the entertainment industry, deepfake technology can be used to improve the dubbing on foreign-language
films, and even bring long gone cinema icons back to the big screen!
