My main purpose is to bring issues to light as well as inform the public about events that are currently happening. Most of my experience with the media involves shared art and events. For example, I find myself on the Instagram observing artist profiles and news events. In regards to news events, I read comments to learn about other people opinions on topics. Therefore, media fits into my life as a source to inform and expose me to things that I can connect with by observing. For instance, watching a live stream of an event is helpful for me because I can grasp a sense of what’s going on and connect to the event as if I was actually there. Not only through video and movement, but photography as well. I can view historic events, captivating art pieces, fashion events, and many other aspects by just using media platforms. On the other hand, media shapes my identity because I can share my experiences, express opinions, and content with the world. I can use media as a way to show who I am without having to communicate verbally. Regardless of whether people agree with my opinion, I could talk about issues using facts, share art or informative videos that are important to me. In addition, I can learn about cultures that are different from my own. When events such as Mardi Gras and others are highlighted in the media, I feel compelled to learn more. As technology evolves, I think I will continue to be interested in the visual and information aspect of media. I will use media as a tool to discover, share, and absorb information.
