What seven hours in a Korean hair salon taught me about the news

Media Dart Diary: Hypocrisy

A salty melody buzzes — my phone wakes me. Out of habit, I reach for it with blurred vision, still in a…

Media Consumption Diary

What I learned from my media consumption is that I do a lot of research or that I read things I find shared on social media or through a work Slack channel. I had to do a data journalism pitch on Monday, so a lot of the media I consumed was through research. I also had my capstone pitch…

As a heavy computer and phone user, I want to say to publishers.....

My media consumption is mostly based on smartphone and computer. This is mainly because…

A Look At My Own Media Consumption Habits

My media consumption habits over the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday were a bit out of the norm due to a particularly busy schedule. I got most of my news from the radio as I was driving around a lot, getting from place to place. Typically, I get most of my…

Media Consumption Diary

News headlines bombard our daily lives and its greatest effect on consumers is on social media for heavy smartphone users. Because consumers like myself follow a surplus of news organizations on Facebook and Twitter, news headlines are more important than ever in not only grabbing the…

Doom to human kind

I’ve always been told to finish whatever on my plate during dinner when I was little. And there’s always a LOT on my plate…

Journalism Fever

While, at times, I literally run from classroom to classroom, a handful of questions pop up in my head: What am I doing, what do I need to do, who the heck is that? Reading the news is not one of those prevailing thoughts.

My Media Consumption

In 48 hours I spent approximately 6 hours consuming news media. I noticed that a large portion of my media consumption was through television. I spent just over 4 hours with television. This wasn’t surprising to me, but I think it’s unusual for my demographic. Millennials are said to watch…

Monetization Media Diary

I started my day on Monday by watching television news for 3 minutes. After that, for the rest of the day, I would go to Facebook. While there, I would look at the sidebar to the right and see what was trending in news. I would click on the links and go to each story, on Facebook, and…

During this assignment, I found a lot of things that I do not do when it comes to consuming media.

To be completely honest, I read a significant number of articles on the first day because I was researching for story ideas for semester projects. My first day’s log is longer than what it normally would be, but not everything…

Media Consumption in the Digital Age

In this digital age, how we consume media is more often or than not through the vast forms of technology we have today. I was intrigued by the concept of logging our media consumption and interested to see what I would learn about my own media consumption habits…

News Consumption Findings

To document and make sense of these contradictory processes, my research centers on using 1136 x 640 pixels to process most of my information. The majority of news consumption comes from the cellular device, and more importantly, from various social media apps such as Snapchat, Facebook, and Reddit…

To the news publisher that is trying to reach me, it is certainly not an easy task. By logging my media consumption for two consecutive days, I have learned that I pretty much have the attention span of a fly.

I breeze through content all day and unless it has the ability to grab my attention immediately with its’ headline…

48 hours

My media consumption habits are a little embarrassing for someone who calls herself a journalist.

At first I was a little intimidated by the assignment. You want me to log every time I look at the news for an entire 48 hours? I was convinced I would be spending every 15 minutes of the…

Media Consumption

When this media consumption assignment was being discussed in class my first thought was I rarely watch the news. Now I know as a journalist that doesn’t make much sense, especially since we’re supposed to be on top of all current news. Then I reevaluated my consumption and realized I may not…

Media consumption — the big reveal

I’m definitely more of a skimmer or a browser. I realized that I don’t necessarily read many articles in-depth but instead update myself with headlines throughout the day. I think it showed me that that’s the way people might be consuming their media — in many small…

Helen’s blog post

My media consumption habits become a bit dismal once I get caught up in the ruthless grad school schedule. I squeeze it in when I can — usually in the mornings when I feel refreshed — along with a couple stories sprinkled in throughout the day. I definitely read quite a bit when I am researching…

When it comes to keeping up with news, my go-to gadget appears to be my phone. These days, I rarely watch TV for news, or at all for that matter, and this media consumption diary definitely confirmed that. I may occasionally watch news shows on CNN or ABC 7 in the mornings, but usually very briefly and I don’t pay as much attention as I do when using…
