Entry#9: Media Synthesis

Image result for mediaHey guys, this week is all about media. In my English 102 class, I have been asked to write an essay about the power of media. Since I have been working on this essay, I have noticed the littlest things pertaining to media. Just yesterday I was talking to my brother about something on the news and when i tried to pull the article up, I couldn't. I had to pull the article up on Facebook. The fact that the news station that I was using didn't have the article on their own website but instead on Facebook took me by surprise. Normally when searching for the news , you are to go directly to the source which in my case was the news stations website. The fact that you can get recent news fast on social media sites and not the website is completely backwards to me. I've also noticed through out writing this essay, for people who are really not social media savvy can get the news from other sources like YouTube. My cousin is a prime example of this, she would rather watch a you tube video containing the news that she's interested in and not watch the actual news. I personally like watching the news and any news that i find interesting I look it up on my cellphone. When I watched the news, I noticed that they would spend a few minutes discussing the topic and move on without giving enough details. As the days fly past I find myself interested in how we receive mass media. In the future you can only imagine how the world will perceive mass media.
