Mass media is something I immediately come in contact with once I start my day. When getting ready to begin my day, I tune in to FOX 29 to find about weather or traffic updates, local coverage, and CNN news station to stay updated with political issues or nationwide occurrences. On my way to work, even though it is a very short distance there is always new media displayed on a billboards, highway signs, and signs outside of restaurants. At my job, I work early mornings, so I'm allowed to listen to the radio, where there is always traffic and weather updates, and upcoming events for entertainment. I also find that the music itself is media when the artist addresses certain products. When I go to school sometimes I take the bus, and the inside as well as the outside, the bus is surrounded with various advertisement's.
The school library is where I usually come across the school newspaper, the only newspaper I make time to read. The school newspaper keeps me informed with events occurring on campus or openings for jobs. When I am checking my e-mail on yahoo, the homepage contains breaking or entertainment news, and of course the right side or the top of the page always consist of advertisements. The form of media that I am about to mention is one I still have doubts with, which is reality shows. That in itself is a type of media towards me because, the stars are always exposing several products with or without being paid for by the companies, and going to locations that may get more visitation or business after viewers have tuned it to the show. Making documentation of all the different types of media I came across for an entire day came to my amazement. The media plays a major role in ones everyday life, with that said, mine being one highly impacted by it.
