representation 

Involves looking at how you see the world
and how the media uses stereotypes
 
Bart (the boy) is a rebel, Homer (the man) is an angry deranged dad, Marge (the woman) is a nice mother who does a lot of house work, Lisa (the girl) is very musical and is very smart, maggie (the baby) is a psycho who some how knows how to use a gun and has a teddy bear called Bobo and they had a cat called snowball 1 and they now have a cat called snowball 2, and there dogs called Santa's little helper whats quite a mouthful and a very strange name for a dog.

what is Media?

Monday 12th September 2016

L/O: To define what media is and how it impacts our lives 
Definition of media: "The main means of mass communication 

types of media:

  • Blogging

  • Magazines
  • Social Media
  • News 
  • TV Shows
  • Radio
  • Gaming
  • Advertising
  • Email
  • Newspapers
  • Texting 
  • websites
The main purpose of media is to make money


                                                            Media influence

Does the media influence you?  yes. 

how?  i have Instagram and Youtube.

is it powerful?  yes, very powerful.
.
Explain why you think it is powerful and give an example.
you can connect online almost anywhere and if one little thing is posted it can go viral in minutes.

The media is neutral/unbiased 
I don't think this true because if a famous person said i hate fish (for example) and everyone who adores him/her will agree with them just because there famous.

The main purpose of media is entertainment 
This is not true because a lot of media companies do it to make money.
