Compare your Note Card Interview responses. Consider as well the ideas we've discussed in class.
After doing the Note Card Interview, I discovered that my interviewees shared similar views on the media. When asked, "What is 'media?'" their responses revealed that media mostly serves as an information center that allows people to become aware of the world around them. From the in-class notes, "medium" is a Latin word that means "a form of communication." Those whom I interviewed understood this meaning and its many uses in our modern world. Though all had a basic understanding of what the "media" is, they all had different most commonly used media. Television, internet, and the newspaper were the most important to my interviewees. Each interviewee also thought the medium they used most frequently was the most important medium there was, for different reasons. All in all, those interviewed agreed that the media's impact on their lives was huge. It keeps them in the loop, allows them to be informed, and broadens their horizons. This interview helped reinforce the importance of media in a person's life.
