Me as a consumer of Media

There are many different ways in which i use media, and and in the modern day you find media has been adapted, for its consumers to make it more accessible to the public. This is why you may find that most of media is interlinked, from social media sites to television.

 In my case it is also similar, as i a access a lot of my media through methods which, could be described as contrasting. for example i do not only use my television to watch the everyday programmes, like Eastenders and the news as is the norm. in the current age we are able to access the radio, and music, this is way to mediums have been combined. another way i use my television is to connect it with my PlayStation, this allows to have Internet access through my television, and uses systems like iplayer which allows me to watch programs which i might have missed on the normal television, if i they have not been recorded. This all so shows the like between the television and Internet which is another form of media. Another way i use my television is to watch films, which are now easier to access because of the various film channels which have been added to the televisions, and through Sky's on demand services and you are able to rent and buy films to save and watch through the television.

Radio is a small but i feel it is also essential part of my daily life. i use the radio to wake me up to go to school, but also to entertain myself during long car journeys and when I am bored.  i usually access the radio through the normal traditional form, but at times when i do not have access to this i can use my mobile phone, through Internet access, this allows me to also use a form of radio called DAB, this opens a wider variety of channels, like radio one xtra.

Personal i do not usually use print media like news papers and magazines as it bores me to be honest, so i usually find my news information online and through television, but even online i am still reading the news on the screen.

The largest form of media i use is internet. this is because you can easily access all the outhere forms of media throught this one form. i am able to use the internet to watch television on my laptop, playstation, mobile phone and tablet. as the internet has grown sites like netflix, iplayer to let me watch television and film. Sites like tunein allow you to listen to both norm and digital radio, i also use the internet instead of buying newspapers and magazines, to replace a lot of my print media access. the internet has also enhansed my music listening, as now I can download music through sites like itunes.

But most of all i use internet through my phone and laptop, for social media sites like instagram, facebook and twitter as my phone is constantly loged on to let me staying in touch with my friends activites, ,aking it the most crucial part of my meadia activities.
