I’m a media prosumer
The board I have created shows all the types of media that I am surrounded by. Media is how everyone communicates today and this is how they find out all there daily news on what else is going on in the world. Media is spreading rapidly across the whole world and it is making it easier for everyone whether is reading the newspaper or reading it online, people are making it easier and faster to look at the news.
Blumler and Katz are media theorists who are argue people consume media for four reasons:
- Entertain
- information
- Social interaction
- Personal Identity
For example I watch Netflix for entertainment and I listen to the radio to be informed about what is going on in other places in the world.
In order for my magazine to be successful I know that i’ll need to make it not just entertaining but informative and allow my audiences to interact with each other.
