Task 1 media Guide

It is vital in all the media industries, where so much work is done  in teams, that people are able to communicate effectively, passing on ideas and information to others and interpreting correctly what others say to them. This is equally important when working with and presenting ideas and information to a client. It is not only oral communication skills that are important; written communication is also seen as a marker of an individual’s ability to maintain professional standards.

You have been commissioned by E4 to pitch a new reality TV show or talent show that appeals to E4s target audience. E4 is the entertainment destination for a cutting edge young audience, it also won channel of the year at The Broadcast Awards in Feb 2011. E4 is one of the most original digital channels, successfully launching mega hits like Skins, The Inbetweeners and Misfits. E4 was also the original home of Big Brother before its move to Channel 5 and is the current home of Made in Chelsea, which was created as a posh alternative to The Only Way is Essex.
