MY MEDIA CONSUMPTION!

 

MY MEDIA CONSUMPTION:

NEWSPAPERS:

Which daily newspapers (if any) do you read?

I read the metro newspaper

What sections of newspapers do you turn to first, and why?

I always turn to the international news section of a newspaper when I do read one. I turn to this section because it alerts me on the upcoming issues and educates me on what can happen whether that is a risk or not  

What sections do you never read, and why?

I never read the sports section because I am not very interested in sports and the news are not as intriguing as the international news are. I also do not read the advertising part because there is barely anything to read about.

What kinds of stories do you usually read and why?

I do not read stories from the newspaper only if it is from the international section. However, the parts that grabs my attention are when something unnecessary is portrayed as a big breaking news for an example Harry and Meghan Markle holding hands in the Queens funeral.

Do you, or someone else, buy the newspaper you read?

I do not buy the newspaper because it is free when you take the train or go on the bus which is usually where I grab a newspaper to read.

Do you look at the online versions of any newspapers? Which newspapers? Why do you visit their website and not others?

I do prefer online versions as they are easy to access. I usually read the apple news because I get notifications on every little detail, or I use the BBC news because it is very reliable. I do not trust other websites.

How can you develop the amount and variety of media you consume?

I can develop the number of media I consume by reading all types of news and listening to a range of podcasts from different perspectives

What will you change in your media consumption habits this year as a result of studying A Level Media?

I will try and keep on top of the news, i am going to start listening to a lot of podcasts and because twitter is a major part of media in terms of social media but also in terms of social views and opinions i will start using twitter and checking it out every now and then

List three sources of media (websites/newspapers/apps/TV programmes etc.) that you will start to access this year that you haven't engaged with previously.

1. Twitter

2. amazon prime (to watch movies)

3. Spotify podcasts
