My media prosumption!

We all consume media everyday, and can link it to Blumler & Katz theory – Uses and Gratification:

• Entertainment
• Social Interaction
• Personal Identity
• Information

I have made a media collage that defines me, and my personal identity. It includes TV shows, movies, music artists, social media, shopping sites and celebrities that I keep up with. I think my media collage fits with Blumler & Katz theory, as it includes what I enjoy watching/listening to for entertainment; what I like to read and collect information from; which social media I contact friends with; and the other aspects of media that help create my personal identity.

When creating my magazine I will keep each of these four media influences in mind to help attract audience. Within my magazine I will try and involve every part of Blumler & Katz theory, to make my magazine successful. I’ll include information about the content; pictures and descriptions of personal identity and text that is entertaining and an interesting subject of conversation.
