Hi! My name is Gloria and I'm a sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (GO HEELS!). I'm no stranger to blogging, but I've started this particular one for my Journalism and Mass Communications class. As of right now, my major is Political Science, but I am contemplating changing it to some aspect of Journalism. I'm taking 101 to see if my interest in the media could possibly develop into some type of career in the future.
Today, media is everywhere. Whether we are members of online networking cites, such as Facebook or Myspace, or own an iPhone or device used to text, read the latest news or check e-mail, most of our society is influenced by media throughout the day. Most of the time, this influence is rarely noticed. This blindness or ignorance to media can be detrimental to an individual's ability to form their own opinions. In my life, media comes as a distraction, a way to keep up with global and local events, a a way to keep in touch with loved ones. Although I do admittedly misuse media (chatting on Facebook rather than doing homework, I also use the medium to become knowledgeable of what is going on around me.
