CH 11 Q3

One concept from the reading this week, I would like to discuss is the portion about the mass media. It is surprisingly how much the average American spends watching television. Personally, I do not spend a lot of time watching television, but I spend a majority of time using other forms of media. In today’s society, I believe that a lot of people are usually more attached to their phones than anything. The Iphone especially, has apps such as twitter, insagram, facebook, and etc that keep Americans occupied and attached to the media. With the media, we need to be able to think critically and evaluate the information that is presented whether it is the news, movies, shows, or online. There are two differentforms of media. Mass Media are forms of communication that are disnged to reach and influence very large audiences. The second media is niche media which are forms of communication geared to a narrowly defined audience.
