To all media students…this link was posted on my facebook page. Watch it! ‘Clare the bogan’

The hype surrounding this previously unknown girl is amazing- stretching overseas. This is a great example of the span of new digital media and the question of audience/ producer roles. Could we label her as a producer? She has definitely generated an audience of her own. First through new digital media such as facebook and twitter and now through traditional broadcast media.  Could we also say that discourse has prompted her popularity? That her use of language and form has shaped meaning? What makes her so transfixing is beyond me!
