So…I’m a Media prosumer

Throughout the world, media is used in many different ways. I made a collage of all the media I consume and prosume. It contains things I use on a daily basis like social media such as snapchat and instagram where I prosume and consume many things and TV apps such as netflix where I consume many different programmes and movies.

In this we task of creating the collage studied we studied a theory; Blumler & Katz which displays the 4 different forms of media and what it presents to us and why we enjoy media as an audience.

  • Entertainment/diversion
  • Social interaction
  • Personal Identity
  • Information/Surveillance

This collage and theory allow me to categorise the different types of media I use and furthermore analyse how I use then. For example I watch reality TV shows not only for my entertainment but for my social interaction. Shows like Love Island create an interaction between me and my friends about the previous episodes.

With all these features considered my magazine will be influenced because it will help me with my own production. It will be a resource for me to consider the 4 different forms of media and how I can present it within to display interest into my audience.
