Media Consumption
•How did you consume the media
texts?
–Reading
–Viewing
–Listening
–Accessing
•Compare the responses of the
class. Do they differ?
They differ at a large extent. Reading would
indubitably differ from viewing because communication to the audience via
textual content is the primary focus directed by the content-producer in order
to achieve reaction from the audience. Viewing however, has the primary focus
of visually appealing to the audience in order to effectively communicate the
desired message. Listening would have to accommodate the function of cohesion
via a vocal form of communication in order to transmit a message to the
audience. This is executed without the perks of a visual means of delivery.
Accessing would require the recipient of information to use the initiative for
the intake of information. Those are the distinctive attributes of each form of
media consumption.
