I chose to take this class because I am an avid enjoyer of movies, TV shows, current events, and video games. This class seemed like the perfect opportunity to learn about how the media that impacts my daily life came to be, as well as where it will advance. I would also be wrong to not mention my interest in the coined term "mass media", as it is a heavily talked about subject in the political world and I would love to see an academic approach to understanding it.
