Madeline’s Modern Media Memorandum

In Friday’s class, Professor Gabe Kahn said, “Technology rips apart the ‘bundle’ concept.” Upon looking at my media diary from Monday and Tuesday’s assignment, I found this statement to ring true: almost all of my media attention was divided into individualized…

Old Habits Die Hard

When I was young, my parents subscribed to the Tuscaloosa News, a daily broadsheet publication in my hometown in Alabama. We were also the rare Southern family who received the Sunday New York Times, which I didn’t like because there was no “funnies” section. We watched the NBC nightly news…

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…
