I have learned so much this semester about the mass media! I absolutely loved that class and all the interesting things I've learned. It gave me a whole new perspective on the media and where it is headed. I loved discussing media laws and ethics. Even though it is such a difficult topic to discuss, it definitely got me thinking.
I also loved in the beginning of the semester when it was explained to us why so many different types of mediums were struggling. It is because of this equation: probability reward/effort required= probablity of selection.
This explains that if something offers a huge reward and doesn't require very much effort people are more likely to consume it, such as watching TV or listening to the Radio. Whereas books and magazines, while yes they are rewarding, they require a ton of effort, therefore people are far less likely to consume them.
This semester has been awesome! I learned so much and am so grateful to know more about the media. I learned how to do photoshop and decided that I'm going to studying either advertising or graphic design.
