My media consumption

 My media consumption

Newspapers

I do not read any daily newspapers but occasionally when i do they are mainly Punjabi related newspapers because my gran dad gets them from the local corner shop for himself and i read it as a time pass, i do not recall the name of the newspaper but it is quite a common newspaper in the Sikh community.

I mainly read through the subtitles and which ever one stands out more to me or is more fascinating then the other subtitles i tend to start reading through that. Stories that include some sort of disagreement in politics or one that include any tragic accident usually catches my attention. 

The sections I do not read are mainly the advertising section because they don't really compel me to read them meaning i don't find them as interesting as the sections i do like. In my opinion, I feel like i advertising is everywhere and i fell like there should be some forms of media then don't have them as much as the others as it tends to annoy the reader since they keep seeing the same advert each time they open the any sort of media.

The kind of stories I usually read include a various of serious allegations made against a person, for example there have been many cases of human trafficking across Asian countries.

No i have never looked up online version of any newspapers, I normally look onto apple news if i am unable to get hold of any local newspaper.I find this less hectic and more practical since its just one click away instead of 10 mins away.

Magazines

Honestly, I have never personally bought any sort of magazine because i have never had to since i was not born when magazines were trending which was about 20 years ago.I feel like Twitter is a sublet of magazine since the hot new gossip is quickly advertised across the whole internet and it is much more practical than magazines in the sense of actually spending money on it rather than downloading an app used by millions.

 Since I do not read any magazines I do not know what section i read or not read however if by any chance in the future there does come a situation where it enquires me to read one i would simply read a section which catches my attention immediately.

Television

I spend about 2-3 hours max when watching television.

I normally watch television on my TV or my laptop however i watch it on my laptop very rarely.

Usually I watch television once i arrive home and get all comfortable which is around 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm

I like watching Netflix because of their long term series which in a way i like because i like relating myself to the characters and the way they perceive certain issues.

90% of the time i will be watching alone but the other 10% i would be watching with my younger sister which is fun at times since we both have the same interests when watching be it shows or movies together.When it comes to sport related television i watch it live, for example the Asian Cricket Cup. I use mostly my phone to watch Netflix but during weekends i watch movies on my laptop.

Radio

No I do not listen to the radio.

Yes, I do listen to podcasts mainly on Spotify because i find them very practical and motivating whilst i am doing work or especially getting ready. 

Recently, I have been listening to the podcast ' Anything Goes' by Emma Chamberlain on my phone.

In a day I listen to at least 30 mins of the podcast in the morning so in a week that would be 150 hours.

Nobody else in my household listens to podcasts other than me.

Film

The last movie that I have watched in the cinema was probably Minions:The Rise Of Gru.

I have seen mostly horror movies since I am huge fan of classic horror movies.

No one other than me in my household loves horror  films so most of the time I just watched them by myself which I don't mind at all.

Normally, I would use my TV but when I do not feel like watching it on a big screen I use my phone .

Online

I have access to the internet all the time  At home, at school, commuting etc. I access the internet at home and at school. The main sites i access are Google and Safari that is because i do not have google on my phone so that is why i use safari as well.I also use Netflix, TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram.The main reasons why I access these sites are to communicate with friends and for entertainment and most importantly for any research regarding schoolwork. I mainly listen to music since it helps me concentrate which is unusual since it might come across as distracting to others.

Reflection

I develop the amount and variety of media i consume by using them when it seems necessary for example i would use social media when one my friends has contacted me only or use twitter to catch up on any fresh news that is trending at the moment. I would probably limit myself into using my phone by adding a set amount of time for screen time.. British newspapers, online newspapers and any TV programmes I come across in the future which i have not considered yet.
