In this blog i am going to talk about my relationship with mass media including, books, newspapers, magazines, movies, radio, television, and the internet. Also what career I would like in the media.
Looking at my relationships with the eight types of mass media, I would have to say my relationship is poor. The first three types of mass media given, are books, newspaper, and magazines, These three are the reason i believe my relationship to mass media is poor. I say this because I am very active and do not like sitting around reading because my mind wanders too much for me to pay attention to what i am reading. I like them because they have so much information that i like to get, but I just cant force myself to keep reading. For example, i never read books anymore unless i am forced to read them. News papers on the other hand, i like looking in to them and I usually take the sports out and i only look at the stats and scores of games. For magazines, I never read them either. I skim through them, but i never read the article because i feel that most the stuff in them are a waste of my time.The last five are much more enjoyable for me, these five include; movies, radio, recordings, television, and the internet.I am always using one of these. For movies, I am always watching movies. Ill rent them, watch them when they come on the television. Really when ever i get a chance, I will watch movies. The only down fall is that they really dont teach you anything, unless it is a documentary. Then the radio, I love listening to it in the car. I never drive without it. My only problem with it would have to be the commercials and talk shows. I love recordings, they are songs that i just want to listen to, it plays when i want it to, so i have no problem with them at all. As for television goes, I love it as well. I love how there are so many options on what you want to watch. You can watch channels that are informative, and when you want to relex, you can jsut put something simple on which is huge for me. I jsut dont like commercials that are aon unless the are funny ones. Then the internet, I think is one of the best inventions, and I love the the goverment has no control over what we put up there. I love the fact that we can put up anything we want. Also anyhting we belive in, we can say is true and make people believe it. With that said I am always on it and wouldn't know what to do with out it.
Looking at careers in the media, I would love to be a sports analysis, or sports reporter. I love sports so it would be great to keep close to them.
