Media Consumption

My media consumption

Newspaper

I haven't read a newspaper in a while. However I do read the news on the internet on BBC news/sport, Sky sports. When I do read the newspaper I would normally go to the back to see the sports news. Sometimes I will read a story that has caught my attention. The sections about the Government I don't read because it doesn't interest me. I would read the stories that are significant or any sports stories (football in particular). Someone else would buy the newspaper and I would surf through the stories until there is something that I want to read. Yes, I mostly read the online newspapers to see the latest news and updates. Again, it is the sport news that I am mostly interested in.

Magazines

I don't buy magazines or read any of them. 

Television

I watch 5 hours of TV and the times I watch shows can be from 12 to 3 or 3 to 5 or 21 to midnight. I am currently watching Person of Interest and I enjoy it because it's thrilling and unpredictable. Also, I watch football matches live or Match of the day hence the times I watch TV. I watch these shows by myself because I can watch movies or series online. But I watch the football with my father. I use the laptop to watch movies and series and sometimes stream matches. 

Radio

Only when I am in a car do I listen to the radio. But not all the time do I listen to it because I would be in a conversation with the people in the car. The radio stations that would normally be on when I am in a car (depending on who is in it) are Capital FM, Kiss 100. I probably listen to an hours worth of radio in a week and there isn't really a specific time of day I listen to the radio. This is because I mainly use the radio when I am in the car so it could be any time.

Cinema 

I have seen Straight outta Compton and Fantastic 4. The N.W.A film was inspirational and it showed the struggle black people in the city of Compton had to go through. Fantastic 4 on the other hand was terrible and didn't relate to the original films. I saw the Friday sequels, the equaliser, the hangover sequels online. Some of the films I felt like revisiting because I enjoyed them the first time I watched it. Straight outta Compton and Fantastic 4 I watched with my friends. I suggested we watched Straight outta Compton but fantastic 4 was our plan b film if South paw was on screens. I would use my laptop to watch films.

Online 

I use the internet everyday for social media or streaming or gaming or homework. It is accessed at home and in school. As of recent I have been using the blogger website, media macguffin, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, Sky Sports, BBC sport/news, Putlocker and gaming. I use some of these websites for educational reasons (blogger, macguffin), information (Sky sports, BBC sport/news) and entertainment (Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, Putlocker, gaming). I use my phone to access social media websites, the laptop to stream, watch videos and do homework. The PlayStation 4 is used for gaming, Spotify and YouTube. I use Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. i use them to see what is relevant, entertainment and communication.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I think I need to concentrate on buying and reading more newspapers and start reading magazines to enhance my abilities on analysing  in media.
