Two formats of media that I commonly enjoy is music videos and movies which I often access through my mobile phone or the television vision using platforms such as YouTube and the Sky Box. I often turn to media during times at which I feel bored and what to do something with my time or mostly when the weather is bad meaning I cannot go out. To deal with these inconveniences I sometimes find myself spending hours on YouTube or watching a series of movies. In terms of social media, I have access to some of the most popular ones in this modern day and age for example Snapchat, Reddit, WhatsApp, etc and normally use these for entertainment and to keep in touch with my friends.Other than that I also regularly watch the news in the morning to help with my daily planning as by gaining information on topics like the weather or traffic delays I can plan ahead to resolve those problems which will benefit me later on in the day.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the support!
DeleteThanks for completing the task Nathan. You are not unusual in using particular forms of the media as a form of escapism. Blumler and Katz identify this in their work relating to what we call 'Uses and Gratification Theory'. They identified that audiences have different reasons for accessing media and achieve different types of gratification as a result of this. Why not look this theory up as part of your wider reading?
