So who is worth following for A level Media?
@julianmcdougall wrote the OCR textbook and he tends to use his tweets to send out useful links for the A2 exam in particular
@henryjenkins is the American academic who wrote 'Convergence Culture' and has done a lot of research on fans
@ainnucci Armando Iannucci the creator of 'The Thick of It' and Alan Partridge, amongst much more, is always amusing and interesting
@petesmediablog is me- I don't say much but you might find other people I follow quite interesting!
Get yourself on there, add a few people then have a hunt around for comedians, actors, film-makers, politicians, journalists you find interesting. It could open you up to a whole load of interesting stuff!
