Throughout my day to day, my life is full of media. Im constantly absorbing information through the media even if I don’t notice I’m doing it. One of my first tasks in the morning is going on Snapchat, I open snaps from friends and will respond constantly throughout the day. I view stories that my friends post, and now we can even view each others locations and see everyones travels. In my free time throughout the day I view Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. While most of this is just seeing people do funny things on the internet I do follow some celebrities, activist pages, and influencer accounts.
One of my favorite instagram accounts is @feminist, This account gives me daily reminders to keep pushing for equality and women’s rights in my day to day.
While I have liked to keep my eyes closed when it comes to how crazy politics have been recently, I do have many news stations on my phone that notify me on different articles and topics. I like to receive my news from multiple sources including The NewYork Times, CNN, Fox, and more. I do listen to some Trevor Noah podcast frequently and those typically do influence my perception on current events.
My daily perception of current events in greatly influenced by the media. I personally believe that I should be paying more attention to my sources when it comes to current events, and that I need to add more encouraging accounts to my social media platforms.
