Class Brainstorm – Media – Immediate Response

Media is an extremely complex thing to define. Put simply it is the varios ways in which information is mediated. Put less simply: as beings with five senses, media is everything.

But to bring this down to earth, what do I think of when I hear the word ‘media’?

• Mediation – transfer of ideas
• Influential
• Stories
• Where art and culture intersect
• Communication
• Creation and reception
• Many types
• Interconnected
• A public form
• Media is power
• Regulation and censorship
• Experimentation
