Media has influenced me to have certain views on things. I never realized it until after I was in this course, though. The media omits and information and sends out selected images in order to portray to the public what they want to portray. Since I’ve been taking this course, I have been so much more selective about what I believe when I watch television and read magazines/newspapers. I question the sources more than I did before and I am more “media literate”. The media still sways my opinion on things, though. It still influences my choices: whether or not I like a new band, it determines whether or not I want to see a new movie, or even if I want to go try a new type of food product being advertised. That being said, the media also allows me to find things, like new music and movies. I am a media addict.
