Each element of the media ecology is interconnected with each other, they are interdependent on each other and without one another, the media ecology would not be successful. It helps impact on society’s understanding of media and how we consume it on a daily basis.
The seven different components of the media ecology represent a different aspect of the media environment;

• Social media
• Money
• Audience
• Creators
• Government
• Distribution
• Institutions

In my media magazine, I need to take into consideration all of these different elements when I come to make my music magazine. For example, without technology, producers/creators cant succeed if technology didn’t exist.

My media ecology mind map proves that all of the media components are interconnected with each other. Without one, media wouldn’t be successful.

Focusing forward, I have realised that it is impossible to be successful in media if you isolate yourself from the different components and that all of these components will come in use one way or another when it comes to making my media magazine.
