Part II – The Media Cycle

Unit – The Media Cycle

What are the 7 (now possibly 8) different mediums through which we can be reached? Although the internet has changed some of the ways we consume said media, it could be argued that very little has changed. In this unit you will be introduced to the idea that your views are being cultivated by that which you consume, and that which you consume is often dictated by your peers or current trends.
