Me As A Consumer Of Media

There are many different mediums of communication, most commonly known as the media, this includes Internet, Print, Radio, T.V and Film. The category which I most commonly use is T.V. T.V is the form of media I find myself using the most frequently. The reason for this being it is easy to access and has a wide range of target audiences which means that there is likely to be something that will interest me and engage me. Within T.V there are many different T.V channels, with a personal favourite of mine being the channel E4, the reasons being that I like shows such as 'Skins' and 'The Big Bang Theory'.

The medium of communication which I enjoy secondly to T.V is the internet. The reason why I enjoy using the Internet is because I can access sites which would allow me to keep updated on current affairs, however my main use of the internet is for social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook . The reason why I use these sites is so that I can talk to my friends easily. Another reason why I use the Internet is to keep up with football scores and watch it online. The last reason why I enjoy is to use catch up sites such as BBC iPlayer, 4oD and ITV Player. I also use it to access music sites such as Spotify.

Another medium I use is print. The reason I use print is because it allows me to see what is going on in the country and most particularly sport. The medium print covers both newspaper and magazines, with the personal favourite being newspaper. The newspaper which which I read is 'The Daily Star'. 'The Daily Star' isn't the best for political news or for going into great deal about important current events. However it does feature a lot of information about sport which is why I read 'The Daily Star' as oppose to other newspapers. 

The medium of communication I use is Film. When I watch films I occasionally watch them when they are released at the cinema, but only if the film really attracts my attention. The most common way I watch films is through DVD's and T.V. Film can also be watched through sites such as 'Netflix' but I tend not to use these sites.

The final sub-categoryis radio. Radio is gradually becoming less popular with the advancements in technology, but I will listen to it occasionally. I usually listen to the radio whilst in the car and when I don't have access to a T.V so I am unable to watch the football so I would listen to TalkSport or Radio 5 Live. The radio station I find myself using most is Radio 1, the reason being that I like the music that is played and the hosts.

Media is a huge part of my life and has a huge impact on our opinions and our views. Media is a component of life that I am very dependant upon and life would be drastically different if we didn't have it.
