Media in Everyday Life

One chapter of our book was dedicated to the topic of media, particularly the use of it in everyday life. It first established that media is any sort of medium that is used to convey information, and then listed a wide variety of media types. More interesting was the second half which focused on the critique of media and how it might or might not effect people's lives in various ways. I found the section about how just a few companies often end up controlling the majority of the media to stand our to me personally due to the fact that I've done some research on this topic previously. Overall, this chapter was rather long, but it managed to keep my interest throughout with it's engaging references to real-world examples.
