Media Bias ...

PBS is one example of a news station that tries to report fairly and accurately since it is a public broadcasting station. They try to keep their viewers watching each and every day which is why they want to be as fair as possible. Another example of a un-biased news network is CNN. They tend to receive higher ratings because more people tend to tune in and watch it for unbiased news.

What is your favorite movie/movie star?

My favorite movie has to be "Boyz N The Hood" written by John Singleton starring Ice Cube, Cuba Gooding, Nia Long and Angela Bassett and laurence fishburne. the depiction of south central from the movie was something i could related to being that i grew up in that very same community where some of those tradegies has taken place. from the enjoyment of being out on crenshaw hanging out in low riders as a kid, to even having close friends get caught up in the streets. the character depiction in the movie resembles actions from my older brothers and also their friends. the movie was such a cultural impact and won many Awards and accolades, making Singleton the youngest person ever nominated for Best Director and the first African–American to be nominated for the award.

consumption of audio media

as the hours go by through out my day ,I stream audio all around the clock. from using my phone with streaming apps like last fm or iTunes radio or even checking out the radio  for news in the morning.By observing my own media behavior i have spent about 52 hours and 50 minutes of my time with audio consumption. The consumption of audio media in my opinion is risingin. The number of people who used their cellphones to listen to online-only radio in their cars nearly double in 2011 stated on the website "state of media" 




As the number rises for the consumption of audio it will remain one of the most used media outlet for information, and entertainment.
