Media. The significance of the concept of media is somewhat unrealised and unthought about in our day-to-day lives, which is particularly ironic considering that it actually does make appearances in our day-to-day lives persistently. As said in the definition above, media can crop up in outlets whether that be televisions, mobile devices or magazines, all things we tend to use quite frequently in the modern world, showing its constant presence in our everyday lives regardless of if we're aware of it or not.
For this reason, along with several others which range from my interest in areas such as photography and videography to just wanting to be more conscious of the entity [media] that plays such a big role in our lives nowadays more than ever (arguably), I've opted to pick AS Media Studies. I hope that over the next year I learn more about the people behind the scenes that make the calls on what exactly gets put out to the general public in things such as newspapers and televisions, but also how media can and has been used to alter people's ideologies on certain things whether that be for good or bad.
