Reflect on what else is happening or might happen as the networks attempt to stay relevant in the new millennium.


i think that as the years go on that they will try to make it so you can skip through the commercials no matter the tv or cable you have. i think that they will find a different way to sell products. besides its not like when we go shopping we dont notice new things, so they could still make money and many people do like to try new things, they could just advertise things more at the stores then in commercials, because all commercials really do is annoy people and most watch because they have nothing else to do.

Open! Reflect on the different ideas related to media that we have discussed and that you have researched. You may write about anything related to the concepts we've examined this semester. Remember our goal: to be informed consumers of the media.

While i have been in media lit, i have learned alot about the american core values and how they are in all sorts of advertisements and commercials. i learned that the media uses the values to get you to buy their products. i can now see how the media works and how they get people to buy things and make money. another thing i have learned is the impacted that media has on our culture with the way they make people look, feel, think. the media has basically complete control over the image of our country. i have learned how they do this and what to look for so i dont fall into the lies they put out there to make money. i have really learned alot about media and in the long run it will be helpful.
