My Mass Media


What parts of mass media do you read? Do you consider yourself well informed?

The parts of mass media I am interested in are television, magazines, movies, the news, and the internet. I like television because no two television programs are the same. Television can be entertaining or educational. I watch Gossip Girl for entertainment purposes and Animal Planet for education on animals and the various things going on with our planet. I like magazines as well for their educational and entertainment purposes. Magazines such as Teen Vogue are good for fashion ideas and to know what various celebrities are up to. Then there are magazines such as Time and Newsweek where I read about politics, economics and learn what is going on in my country and in other countries as well. I love to watch movies. Like television movies are good for their educational and entertainment purposes. For example, I might watch the movie “21” for its entertainment purposes and “The Boy in Striped Pajamas” for its educational purposes on the holocaust. I mostly watch movies for their entertainment value. For me watching the news is very important because I have friends that live around the world in various countries. A lot of those countries are having major issues right now so I like to stay updated. If I am too busy to watch the news I will often learn what is going on from the little news clips, stories and headlines given on Yahoo when I check my email. I consider myself well informed because I am always interested in the media and the various ways it can be helpful and important. Without the media there are many things we wouldn’t be able to enjoy and accomplish today.
