My Media Consumption

Newspapers

-i sometimes read/watch bbc news and sometimes look through the daily mail (online rather than in the form of an actual newspaper)
-i usually read articles based around education (eg: changes in the system and the affects they're having/are predicted to have)and politics (eg: decisions leaders around the world are making)as well as other events around the world.
-the only articles i don't usually read would be articles that don't seem interesting/relevant
-i look at bbc news and the daily mail online. i look at them for the stories they cover and just because they appear on more than one media platform (eg: the daily mail is also on snapchat stories)

Magazines

-i don't buy magazines myself but if somebody else in the house buys one i'll occasionally look through them
-i read through celebrity stories/gossip. i usually don't read articles that catch my eye or seem very interesting.

Television

-i spend around 2-3 hours a day watching tv (depending on what i'm watching)meaning i spend around 14-18hours watching tv a week.
-i either watch tv when i get home from school or in the evening
-i like medical/dramas and crime/detective because i find them interesting and i like it when there's a storyline so there's something to follow and predict what might happen next.
-i switch between both. when i watch with people my mum and sister usually decide what to watch.
-i normally watch catch up tv or recorded programmes. i also watch stuff on either my phone or sometimes a laptop/ipad.

Radio

-i don't listen to the radio (unless someone in my family is listening to it and i'm in the car)
-when the radio is playing it's usually kiss or capital fm
-my mum, dad and sister listen to the radio in the car.

Cinema

-the last thing i saw at the cinema was baywatch
-other films i have watched (through netflix and online websites) include:think like a man, the other woman and identity thief
-i watched some movies with friends
-we would usually decide on a film together or watch something that one of us has wanted to see but hasn't gotten to
-i normally use my phone or ipad but sometimes i will use a laptop.

Online

-i access the internet everyday as and when i need to/am required to
i access the internet at home and school and when im out and about.
-the majority of the time i use apps like Instagram, Snapchat, Spotify, YouTube and Netflix (or other online streaming websites)
-the main reasons i access the internet is to find information, communicate with people, to purchase things and for entertainment
-i mainly use my phone and iPad but i also sometimes use a computer/laptop.
-i regularly use Instagram and Snapchat as it allows me to keep in touch and communicate with other people as well as follow celebrities and see a part of their lifestyle. i can also use these apps to find inspiration and look at things i like.

Reflection

-i can develop the amount/variety of media i consume by discussing with other people things we've read or seen that we find interesting and research more into it.
-this year i am going to increase my media consumption by looking into more forms of media and trying to notice features i am learning about as i read/watch new things
