My Relationship With Media

Image
        My relationship with media has been complicated throughout my life. Because I have had an iphone for the majority if my time on this earth, I have always had easy access to media. When I was little, I would idolize and want to be like characters in TV shows. Now the equivalent is music. I listen to music almost all the time. Mostly, I listen to classical music which I don't think has much of an effect on me. A part of media which I do not like is news. It is almost always bad and can be misleading depending on the source. Seeing a news article on a platform such as instagram can make or break my day. Social media such as instagram has the ability to greatly effect me for better or for worse. It is the form of media which I consume the most often. In the past, seeing articles on instagram has caused my opinions of important matters to sway one way or another. At least I can admit that it is a problem.
