Although newspapers played a big part in society I never was really fond of them. When I was a little kid and I would wake up in the morning I would always see my Grandfather reading a newspaper and drinking a cup of coffee. I would kinda look at it with him too, but the only thing really interesting to me was the funny comic strips so I found the rest of it really boring. I also feel like newspapers aren't that popular and relevant like it used to be.
Next the mass media I would like to talk about is Magazines. Unlike newspapers, people actually read magazines. My whole entire life I've always read magazines. When i was in elementary school I would always read those teen Disney channel magazines. Now I would pretty much just read like Ebony and Jet, so pretty much all the African American magazines. My Mom would always but them so I would just read them when she gets it. I also like to read people magazine and stuff like that.
The next two types of mass media are books and movies. Books and movies are a big part in my life. My favorite books of all time would be all of the Harry Potter series. And my favorite movies of all time would have to be Harry Potter too. The books and movies are just amazing. The next types of mass media are Audio and Radio. These two types of media go hand in hand. Audio is used pretty much everywhere if you want to here something like music and the radio is what you listen in the car to hear music.So these are also things I use in my life.
The last two types of media that I will be discussing is Television and the Internet. I pretty much watch T,V all the time and my favorite show is New Girl. I also use the internet for twitter and stuff like that. In the future I would like a career in the media department. I would like to be a news reporter and my major is actually Journalism.
Hey Bryce,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing you past experiences with media. I am glad that you have a clear goal in mind! If you would ever like to start building your porfolio with an interview or a short narrative please let me know, i would be more than happy to help with a video.
Also on a side note is seems you have not trolled certain parts of the internet as in depth as i have, (of course i am speculating) feel free to ask me some questions or ask me for some links for the information.
I found it funny how you mentioned that you didn't really care for the newspaper and skipped straight to the comic strips because I did that, too as a kid! I also think it's cool that you don't just stick to reading typical magazines and read some African American ones as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's totally awesome that you're a Harry Potter fan too! I've browsed those magazines in the store and I see the appeal, but they're just not my thing. We're journalism major buddies and it'd be cool to discus future prospects in the field.
ReplyDeleteMy parents never bought the newspaper but it always seemed boring to me, even now as an adult. I rather watch the news on TV. You are right about audio being everywhere. When I drive anywhere I blast the music to my favorite songs haha.
ReplyDeleteThe Internet has probably affect newspapers (print version) more than any other media. But I'm hoping that news reporting will still be relevant.
