As I am not much of a football fan, I preferred to take an easy solitary walk through the deserted streets of Mainz, but half of the nation was thrilled in regularly watching the matches of the European Championship. Things…
New social media are taking over newspapers. That’s nothing new. While more and more newspaper copies remain…
Over the course of the semester we talked a whole lot about facebook and how media outlets use it and how influrential it is. But is it really?
Reflection post:
Why I wanted more but that’s ok.
When I found out that we had a course about (News) Media, and I could actually take it, I was psyched! I was looking foreward to it for month (you know, from end of registration phase to start of semester). I was so happy to get my teeth on something…
Pokemon Go is a popular cellular virtual reality game. The point of the game is to become a trainer and go around the city to catch Pokemon. The trend of memes and television news about making sure people obey the law and talking about the fever.
How is the future of the newspapers going to look like? This is a serious question for the publishers as well as the readers. The numbers of subscribers and sales of the print versions has continuously dropped since the…
When I chose this seminar I was looking forward to learn more about the news media because I am generally not that much involved in the news. During the semester I believe I learned a lot about how news media work and how to critically examine articles on major news websites or programmes. It was…
I came to Medium through our university seminar „Inside the News Media“ and I’ve never heard about it before. That’s probably the first thing I’ve got to say about the course — I’m really happy I got to know, and now being part of, a website and a community…
In the course of this semester we discussed a wide range of interesting, complex and…
Putting together all I’ve learnt in a semester of Cultural Studies IV and writing a reflection post about it is really not…
Good job on your post, I really liked it! I do think that it is a topic very much discussed and everyone seems to have an opinion about it. Turns out lots of people just copy what others have said.
So it’s even more important to ignore what’s being said about it everywhere else and think it up yourself!
This was really interesting!!! I never thought about it that way, but it is only a natural consequence that gathering in large numbers draws attention and, thus, makes you (e.g. your group) the centre of focus.
It’s also interesting that there are actually essays in that topic and as early as 2007 no less. I wouldn’t have…
I’ve recently seen a YouTube video on the same topic. It was a lady who only had like 10 pieces of clothing and 3 shoes or something. She talked about how she never needed very many things, and how it was handy now that she had to move a lot for work.
When we discussed this model last week I was confused. I am first of all confused by the way they decide which article should be paid for and which shouldn’t. I am also confused why I should enjoy not knowing if I have to pay for an article and suddenly receive my…
