Document Summary
Every age, one media is dominant and influences our world (do questions on the video) Hypodermic needle model 89 yrs old, comes out of thinking that communication happens in a linear way (images, videos based) Exposed to a particular medium, we are influenced by what we consume. In relation to what happens in the world. Orson welles radio theatre; broadcasted as news broadcast, resulted in mass panic, ppl thought they were under siege. Media value (whether its tailored for middle class/higher class etc. ) How media frames things how does it frame reality. The camera is only capturing what it wants to show the viewer, not reality. Manipulates us to view issues in their way. Media cant tell u what u think but can influence u what to think (cant tell u to vote conservative but can make u think about politics) Media makes us think of thinks without actually directly addressing us explicitly.
