5 days of media consumption

During my 5 days of recording my media consumption I found I got most of my media from TV, my iPhone, classes, and watching movies.

Thursday: I watched SVU, looked at my CNN app on my iphone, and watched Jersey Shore and watched KHQ news on the shooting that happened here in Moscow.

Friday: I watched the morning news on KHQ and looked at my CNN app on my iPhone and ESPN.

Saturday: I watched God Father 2, Secret Life of a Teenager, and Texas Women.

Sunday: Did homework all day and watched Boys in the Hood.

Monday: Watched a short clip on the Enron scandal in class, watched Secret Life of a Teenager, Jersey Shore and Wipe Out.

Tuesday: Watched Chopped, Property Virgins, Tosh.O and read my CNN app on my iPhone.

After recording my media intake, I concluded I watch a lot of TV for a college student. I also found I am looking at my iPhone app CNN at the breaking news happening all around the world because I find it more convenient then watching it on TV. Most of the TV shows and movies I watch have some sort of crime occurring, some are obvious and some aren't. I found I watch shows and movies that have a lot of drama and keep me guessing on what is going to happened next. One thing I learned after watching an episode of Secret Life of a Teenager, was sexting is illegal and you can be prosecuted if you're caught sending naked pictures of girls or boys to your friends. I guess it's the new thing happening in high school and it's getting a lot of media attention. Crime plays a big part in my choices of movies and shows, if it doesn't have crime/drama occurring, I will probably find it boring and it would not be a choice of mine.

A little about Diana

Hi Everyone,

  
My name is Diana and I am a senior at the University of Idaho and I hope to graduate in May of 2012. I have two pugs and I spend most of my days playing with them, doing homework or playing golf. I love helping others whenever I can because I believe everyone was placed on this earth to make a difference, in some way or another. I am majoring in Justice Studies and I hope to work with kids as a social worker or a probation officer after I graduate. Of course I am taking Soc. 339 because I need it to graduate, but I also find all types of crimes interesting. I believe you can learn from other peoples mistakes (how to be safe from predators or from scam artists) and without the media we wouldn't know half the stuff going on around the U.S. and the rest of the world.  I hope after taking this class I will be able understand why the media seems to over exaggerate certain crimes yet let others fly under the radar.  I find that many white collar criminals do not get as much attention as they deserve.
