ESSAY 2 FEEDBACK

MUSIC INDUSTRY ESSAY 2 - significance of continuing development of digital media technology on institutions and audiences. 

Anyone who handed in an essay yesterday has feedback on their blogs. I couldn't manage to put a 'new post' on people's blogs so you now have 2 comments beneath your 1st essay. The second one refers to the most recent piece. 

Anyone who hasn't given it in, needs to post it on their blogs asap. As well as this, if anyone wants to do additional questions, post them on your blogs and 'll check regularly over the next few days.

Overall the pieces are very well written and understanding of the whole industry is evident. However, it is so important that you get our case studies in and use them to support your essays. 

Any problems, get in touch. Best of luck for Tuesday!
