Me as a consumer of media

We all consume media in many different ways. Media consumption is the sum of entertainment and information taken in by a group or individual. Some of the ways we consume media may be through reading magazines, listening to the radio, social networking sites, YouTube or watching the news. Personally, the main ways I consume media is through reading magazines such as "new

" which is a magazine focusing on stories based on celebrities. "New magazine" also have an online website making their media content easily accessible. www.new-magazine.co.uk "New" offers the latest celebrity gossip and fashion trends. I also watch many videos on YouTube and MTV to keep updated on the UK top 40 charts music as I enjoy listening to modern dance, pop and RnB music. My favourite song as of September 2014 is Sam Smith - I'm not the only one.

Sam Smith is a very current British singer who often features in the "MTV UK Top 40"

Another artist I enjoy listening to is Ed Sheeran who is a British singer/songwriter who also makes a regular appearance in the UK Top 40's charts. In my opinion Ed Sheeran writes fresh, beautiful music. These are two of my favourite Ed sheeran songs taken from Ed Sheeran's 2014 album "X".

Social networking sites are becoming increasingly popular worldwide! However, I only tend to use facebook. 556 million people now access this site; This could be for personal use, or to promote businesses, companies, charities etc. I enjoy using facebook because it's very easy to communicate with others using the facebook chat and also it allows me to see what my friends are up to! I can also share pictures and memories to friends and family.
