My media consumption

-
When it comes to media consumption I don’t really step out my comfort zone as much as I should be.

Newspapers 
I don’t read any newspapers anymore  as everything is on the internet , however I used to  read them.
When I did read them I would always go to the top stories that were on the front cover as they would always interest me and I used to enjoy learning about the different events that occurred that day or week or month. I never used to go to the sports section of the paper as that never really interested me.
Usually the stories that interested me were world news and ,sometimes, celebrity news this is because I was always intruiged  into how other countries operated and what different challenges they faced. Now that I have my own phone I look at online newspapers but I don’t really have a specific paper  that I check top stories , I just look at which ever one is more recent.

Magazines
I don’t really but magazines nor do I check them out online because they just never really appeal to me

Television
approximately, I spend around 4 hours a week on television which isn’t a lot because I find television quite boring nowadays so I usually watch YouTube or Netflix and or anime . However when I do watch television it’s usually in the evening with my family . In terms of programmes I watch my favourites on Netflix and my favourites might be Riverdale, Stranger Things  etc .. but I also watch anime and some of my favourite series are called attack on Titan, Tokyo ghoul and Darling in the franxx. I don’t really watch catch up tv or tv on demand as I don’t watch tv series on the television
I watch my programmes usually on my phone or laptop.

Radio
I do occasionally listen to the radio and I usually listen to music stations but when I’m the the car with my parents they listen to the news or LBC . I enjoy music stations as they play some of my favourite music and I do enjoy listening to the conversation stations as they help me catch up on life and world events. I listen to the radio everyday when I’m in the car whilst I’m travelling so i don’t really have an approximate amount of time.

Cinema
I haven’t seen any movies recently in the cinema however on Netflix I watched the new rom-coms “to all the boys I’ve loved before” And “Sierra burgess is a loser” . I watched these films with my cousins and we mutually decided to watch them on our laptop

Online
I use the internet everyday and i do it almost always from my phone and sometimes on a laptop or computer . I can be anywhere when I access the internet from my phone but when I use my laptop I usually am at home . I frequently access YouTube , Netflix , Crunchyroll and just google when it comes to reasearch etc.. and I also access Instagram, Twitter and snapchat. I use Instagram , Twitter and snapchat to communicate with my friends and share photos and catch up on celebrity and world news.

Reflection
To develop my variety of media consumption I feel like I could buy newspapers and magazines aswell as download news apps on my phone and keep up to date with more frequent news. To do this I will get the guardian newspaper on my phone and download the bbc news app aswell as watch the news on the television. Also I will try to watch more actual television series and movies to help me at A level

Textual analysis Re-watch some of the expansion pack trailers and answer the following questions: 1) How do the expansion pack (DLC) trailers reinforce or challenge dominant ideologies? In terms of Gender the trailers both reinforce and challenge ideologies through how the females and males are portrayed. For example, in the expansion packs for teens, the females aren't dressed in skirts or dresses instead they are in more comfortable gender neutral clothes , however the trailer does reinforce some gender roles . In one scene, a female avatar is scene to fall in to the male avatar's arms which effectively reinforces the role of submissive behaviour amongst women (bell hooks) . However in the chic boutique trailer, we can see a very feminine male who could connote to being gay which hints to positive LGBTQ representations . The trailer portrays the avatar enrolling in 'Sim High' which is a social standard for young adolescents . This is a rather neut...

1) Why does Clay Shirky argue that 'accountability journalism' is so important and what example does he give of this? Accountability journalism is important as Shirky argues it's the journalism that can call out the illegal journalism that occurs.He uses the story of Father George Geoghan as an example here. 2) What does Shirky say about the relationship between newspapers and advertisers? Which websites does he mention as having replaced major revenue-generators for newspapers (e.g. jobs, personal ads etc.)? He suggests that some newspapers used advertising but also have accountability journalism. However it does co,e at a price as some advertisers are forced to over pay. 3) Shirky talks about the 'unbundling of content'. This means people are reading newspapers in a different way. How does he suggest audiences are consuming news stories in the digital age? Shirks suggests that the rise of social media has Miao ted readers and how they read news stories. ...

1) Complete the questions in the first activity box (beginning with 'Do you play violent games? Are you violent in real life?') Activity Does the media have the power to change peoples’ behaviour, attitudes or promote values and ideologies?  depending on how raw and real the content is i personally think that the media cant effectively change peoples behaviour, attitudes etc... 1. Do you play violent video games and/or watch violent films? Are you violent in ‘real life’? i do play some violent video games and i have watched and so see violent films often but i dont see myself as someone who wants to go out and copy violent acts out on people in public. 2. Do you ever see a product advertised on TV or on the internet and decide you want to buy it yes  i have had the desire to buy something but i never usually do because its never too desirable for me. 3. Have you ever seen a documentary which has drawn your attention to an issue which you now feel strongly about no...
