Me as a consumer of media

There are many different mediums of communication, more commonly known as, the media. There are many different examples of media i.e internet, TV and radio etc.

When it comes to a personal preference, the internet is probably the type of media I use the most. I use the internet every day without fail. My usage of the internet varies from watching videos on sites such as YouTube and 101 great goals to checking my feed on Facebook to reading newspaper articles on the Daily Mail. However, my biggest use of the internet by quite some distance is keeping track with my Twitter timeline. Having the app on my phone means I can constantly check my Twitter whenever I please.



Another type of media I use quite frequently is the TV. I would probably say that I watch TV every day but the time I spend watching TV varies by the day. There may be some days when I spend 3 hours watching TV and there may be some days where I only spend 20 minutes watching TV. At a weekend I spend much more watching TV due to the football being on. Some of my favorite programmes include coronation street, a league of their own, the Simpsons and only fools and horses. TV is a large part of many peoples lives in this generation, much more so than before. This could be for several different reasons such as being so easily accessible, it has become such a big part in the everyday life and the fact it has become a part of the British tradition.

There are many more types of media I use but the amount I use them is much less than for example the internet or TV. One example is the radio, I used to be a keen listener to talkSPORT but for many people it is hard to find the time where you can just sit down and listen to the radio. Like many others, the only use of the radio I get is when I`m in the car and the radio is on.

Overall, I would say that I`m a large consumer of media and its a big part of my everyday life. Media is constantly expanding and for a large majority of people the media is also a very big part of their everyday life.
