What is
Media?
Media is the main means of mass communication of information
such as television, radio and newspapers. There are different ways to use media
in an institution such as showing specific codes and conventions to target
audience so they can understand the media text. Media can inform and influence
people’s opinions. Media can connect people through such tools as social
networking (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc.) There are different ways to
access media through platforms (vehicle) such as print media and press
photography. Certain media types can also persuade certain types of audiences
for example, Dior shows a beautiful woman holding the perfume. This makes the
target audience want to aspire to be like her so they would buy the perfume.
Mass media is a form
of communication to provide information to the target audience through TV,
Magazines, and Radio etc. Some web based platforms such as “BBC News” website
also show audio and video which can entertain and get the attention of the
audience. Some sources in web based media such as “Wikipedia” is biased because
it can be edited by the public and may not be accurate. Some print based media
such as “The Sun” is biased because they usually only show one side of a story
or do not give enough information.
Wow Boj, that was very interesting. Hope your media goes well and remember 'Life's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you will get.' HE is our saviour, Art is a lie.
