What exactly is media? <\/strong>
Good question! Here’s the short answer: Media refers to all the tools used to communicate with many people at once. Think books, magazines, newspapers. Think TV, streaming services and radio. Think advertisements on a bus bench-or on a bus! Think fliers stuck under a windshield wiper, or giant videos on the sides of buildings. Think movies. Think blogs. Think social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media is everywhere. It’s out there raising your awareness about the world, and informing your decisions. It’s trying to persuade you to do things and care about things you may not need to do or care about. It’s constantly telling you what’s right and what’s true and what’s hip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slice the Media Pie<\/strong>
Think about how much media you consume each day. Do you swallow it in bits or take huge bites? If the pie below represents your daily media intake, how would you slice it? If you’re a big-time Web surfer, the largest piece might go to the Internet. TV or streaming will get a sizable chunk of your pie if you spend hours in front of the tube. Go to\u00a0http:\/\/imgflip.com\/piemaker<\/a>\u00a0and make your own \u201cmedia pie\u201d. Add these slices \u2013 Internet, phone, books, movies, newspapers, games, television, magazines, music. Add any more that you can think of – or divide some\u00a0 these (for instance internet could be Instagram, TicToc, Facebook, Snapchat, email, Zoom and Twitter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submit your pie to the group by making it private and downloading it to your computer and sharing the image in the comments below. (If you’re having trouble uploading the picture try cropping it to 800 px x 800 px so that the image is smaller.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at some of the other entries and compare your media use to at least one other person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
