As a Journalism major I believe it is crucial to know what
is going on, so I try my best to stay up to date with the news. Therefore, I am
usually checking my phone for the news. I use various apps and monitor
different media outlets. I also read newspapers and literary magazines. I’ll
occasionally watch the news on television. I have yet to publish anything, but
I hope to do so soon.
I’m constantly using my phone whether it’s for leisure, school,
or communication. I would like to say I don’t use it as much, but the
connectivity makes it almost impossible to stay away. When I do use social
media I try not to spend too much time on it. However, I don’t post on these
sites. I deleted my Instagram about a month ago because I felt like I cared too
much about the likes I got on my posts.
I follow a lot of media outlets on Twitter because I find
the correlation between media and digital technology interesting. It is
definitely affecting Journalism and I’m curious as to how this will change in
the future.
I’m constantly consuming media so I’d say it’s a big part of
my identity and life. I’m sure it’ll continue into my future. However, I hope
media will change in the future because it’s beginning to have a negative impact
and it can be used for worse. Sometimes media platforms are used in a
bad way, which can make me question my identity.
