Influence of the Media

Q: What forms of new media do you use daily? 

A: On a daily basis I use mainly use social networks such as Instagram, Face Book and Twitter. These  allow me to receive updates instantly as they are posted. Also, I keep myself informed with what is happening in the news being I do not watch television and cannot keep up with the news that way. 


Q: How has new social media influenced your perspective of events? Are these positive or negative influences?

A: New social media has allowed me to be more informed of events as they are occurring. I have also learned that when reading about these events, I cannot simply rely on one source to form an opinion. I read multiple sources, and gather an idea based on facts reported. My perspective of events are negative, being events reported are often biased based on the source.
