Today we spoke about the different types of media and how our consumption of media has changed. Pre modernism media consumption was more personal, it consisted of face to face consumption and peoples knowledge was determined by their direct surroundings and the world experienced by each individual. Technology developments have connected the world allowing modern consumerism to broaden and branch out. This allows us to consume a wide array of media from different outlets and with different perspectives. This media can be viewed as less reliable as it is less personal and can often be unreliably sourced. Certain media exposure can normalise certain subcultures, it has the ability to warp the general publics opinions on different groups. The media have the ability to taint peoples beliefs and promote either positive or negative associations with particular groups and issues, this can shape societies views and attitudes.

Noticing: Recognising your media consumption and questioning what you are being told. It is important for audiences to form their own views and opinions and not just accept the messages that are being fed to them.
