Journal Project

        I actually really enjoyed the Journal project that my Introduction to Mass Media class required us to do at the start of the semester. The project required students to keep a journal of all the media we use for a set amount of time. I found it was sometimes hard to write down all the different medias I used because there were so many, and it didn't even cross my mind. After completing all of my entries I was pretty surprised with my results.

        A few weeks ago my computer crashed and deleted all of my files so unfortunately for me I don't have my research paper to look off of, and explain my predictions, results and so on. I can say from memory that I watched a lot more television than I thought I did because I didn't realize how much of it I used for white noise. I really noticed how much media impacts the lives of people today, and how it's become so socially acceptable to have so many different forms of media packed within an individual's day. The journal project definitely was worth the recording and analyzing because now I am well informed of how much media I actually use.
