This week’s lectorial was based on one of the themes for the Project Brief 4, ‘institutions’. As a class we listed instituations down on the board, however I did not expect them to be listed as they were. When I thought of institutions I imagined buildings, and programs. Although, our class started listing other things such as values, superstitions, which opened up a new world of “institutions”, we started to analyse them more as classifications:

– historialcal continuities

– rituals, symbolic

– values

– expectations

– superstitions

-legal fraemwork/regulatory

-widley accepted

We then discussed media institutions, and here is a list below of what was mentioned:

ABC, the news, journalism, newscorp, cinema, broadcast television, community radio, public service broadcasting.
