Objective reality - events as they actually occur, a reality that completely exists independent of any conscious entity to observe it. Subjective reality - the reality of events as they are perceived by actors and citizens, what we perceive. Constructed reality - events as covered by the medi. Each type of media as a different way of creating meaning. Systems of representation can overlap but never fully encompass another. A multiplicity of meanings can be generated within one mediu, and meaning can be generated within the multiplicity of media - textbook. Meaning can be generated within the multiplicity of media.
