Seminar 4 topics welcome

.
Ok, so we just finished seminar 3 and you now know what that's all about. We'll basically do the same thing next week, but we need a new set of topics to form seminar groups around. Some of the topics were handed in today in the form of your papers, but a suggestion for a topic can come from anywhere. I for example thought of a topic when I heard Michael Forsman's lecture earlier today:

--------------

The ratings industries
Michael Forsman mentioned the ratings companies that measure who, what and where and then sell their results back to the radio channels. What is the history of measuring ratings and the specialized companies that do these measurements. What is the impact and implications of their activities - how does feedback affect the radio industries (content, economic decisions, radio personalities etc.)? What role will measurements, ratings and the rating industries play in the future and for the future of radio? This proposal can be linked to, or compared to last week's "Radio advertising of the future" proposal.

------------------

So, if you think of a topic - perhaps in relation to a lecture or something you read on this blog - please formulate it in a few sentences and post it here! Please name it "Sem 4 topic: [The ratings industries]" to make it easier for others to understand that this is suggestion for a seminar topic!
