My Media diet is a reflection of my favourite shows and the social media which I engage with the most. The reason I choose to use these apps the most is because they entertain me and keep me updated with the latest news and what my friends are up to. Through creating this I have learnt that everyone has a different social identity and people engage with media for various different reasons: entertainment, information, personal identity and social interaction.

My media diet is going to help me with creating my music magazine because it has shown me I am going to have to consider why people read magazines and in order to create a great magazine I must ensure that there are opportunities to be entertained, informed, reinforce the reader’s personal identity and also give them opportunities to socially interact. If I can provide all of these elements, then my media text is likely to be a success.
