Absorbing the Media

I have been exposed to many forms of media throughout the years. Most of my life, I have always enjoyed reading about professional athletes. Whether it is an autobiography about their life or about what they did in their previous games. I am very familiar with the newspaper and sports magazines. Also within the newspaper I read numerous articles, anything from a murder story to reading about a local charity that is going on in my local area. And of course being raised in this thriving generation, I continually have an eminent amount of exposure to the internet. The internet is my main source of news and media for sure. Me and millions of others log onto the internet numerous times per day and are exposed to an abyss of news, music, art, people, articles and advertisements that affect the way we live out lives whether we know it or not. Besides the internet I also use a TV occasionally. I cannot relate to the television as much as I can the internet but I have viewed my fair share. But then again my fair share usually coincides with mostly sports media and rarely any of those mind numbing reality shows that are infesting society as we speak. Another form a media that I tend to really enjoy is the radio. What I enjoy the radio for is not music but an actual radio show. Out of all radio shows my favorite show happens to be Dr. Drew Pinsky’s Love Line. I highly recommend that show, not only for the entertainment perspective but from an educational absorbing point of view as well. And that is how I access the media that I choose to be absorbed.
