2. Video Game Industry
 The video game industry is a massive industry, working in the game
industry you would require coders, modellers, sound engineers and
much more. Video game is one of the hardest type of content to make in
the media industry. Once the game has been made, it has to be tested to
see if there are any bugs, the developers would work on a way to fix this.
 One major thing that the video game industry has over anything else is
updates, once a film has been released its done with, no more further
editing. Whereas with the gaming industry with the help from the internet,
it can release a patch to fix a problem or add onto the game so the game
can be never finished.

3. Film Industry
The film industry is one of the most well known industry's around, and one of
highest grossing of all media sectors. You hear about the film industry
everywhere; on the radio, on TV, in DVD’s themselves and the
newspapers. It is a very popular industry and most of the film stars are
looked up as idols.
Depending on whether or not the movie was a success, it would come out
one or multiple sequels. To make a film you would need a writer who
would write the script, the director who is in control of filming and making
sure everything goes to plan, you would also require a film crew to film
and a lighting crew to make sure the set has the appropriate lighting.
These are the highest grossing films of all time

4. Press
 The thing with the press is that anyone can be part of the press, if we all
report and share the news we all become part of the press. The public
do everything the press do like take photos, do interviews, tell gossip.
Though we do it on a much smaller scale. The industries which produce
news and entertainment content for the mass media are often called "the
media" (in much the same way the newspaper industry is called
"the press")
Distribution of information can be shown anywhere, sites like BBC News,
Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and many more. Social Network has a big
impact as it gives everybody a voice and they can use that voice for what
every they choose.

5. Radio Industry
 The radio industry helps promote chart releases and there is always a radio station
for anyone. Each radio station will play specific songs to a certain genre. Like BBC
Radio One will always play music to a teenage audience where as BBC Radio Two
will play music to a much older audience. The radio industry is a term for any
companies or public service providers who are involved with the broadcast of radio
stations, and with so many radio stations, there are multiple people managing
them making sure they follow regulations
 Normally, when people ask for the most popular radio station, they mean the one
with the most amount of listeners. This will always give national or London stations
as a result, and ignore smaller, local radio stations - even though, in many areas,
the most popular station is a local one.

companies trying get their products out by advertising so it
means that your company would need advertise to a bigger
