Reading Response #7
1. Media is the technology or way which information is stored and communicated, like a narrative (p. 219).
2. Media is known as plural but it is also used as singular (p. 220).
3. How to better the meanings through the practices of looking, in every day life (p. 222).
4. "The term "mass media" refers to forms of communication that reach large numbers of people in a relatively short timeframe" (p. 224).
5. Criticism of capitalist and consumerist postwar media forms (228).
6. "Situationist interventions show how the flows and patterns of human usage can disrupt official networks and systems in the built environment" (p. 234).
7. Invisible infrastructures are made to not be noticed (p. 238).
8. Media can affirm and critique nationalism (p. 240).
9. Postwar, television was all outside (p. 240).
10. "... the dominance of mainstream media has been challenged by the rise of citizen journalism and web-based media produced by citizen-users" (p. 243).
11. Citizen journalism has become a primary source of media (p. 245).
12. A global media event consists of the world viewing at the same time, for example, 9/11 (pp. 248, 249).
Reflection:
What caught my attention the most was that of citizen journalism. In the section of this chapter it talked about the positive influence of citizen journalism. However, I feel that citizen journalism can be biased in every way possible. People will post according to beliefs and opinion, and most of the time it is not accurate. Instead, we need to go to the proper media source. Why is citizen journalism becoming a primary source of media outlet? How can we be unbiased? The section itself talks about the repercussions of citizen journalism. Not only journalism, but media outlets are being biased with what is being reported-- especially politically.
