The Media Ecology. Map of concepts and mediascape.

In this task I built a lego ecosystem, this task outlined that like many things in life, the media also works like an ecosystem as every part of the media could not survive successfully without another component. For example if creators didn’t exist there would be no audience and without audience there would be no income for companies, as you can see this has a knock-on effect, this means that each component of the media is all equally important. The definition of an ecosystem is “a community of interacting organisms and their physical environment” “a complex network of interconnected systems”. 

Overall, we used the lego model to create a basic understanding of how an ecosystem worked and how vital each part of it is, this then enabled us to create a poster of media ecology with the understandings of each component within the media.

Finally I will implement media ecology into the production of my music magazine, when thinking about distribution to the audience as the most effective ways to distribute my magazine I will do this by using social media platforms to reach the best type of audience.
