Post 1

Throughout the day I am bombarded by the mass media. I go to the computer as soon as I wake up, checking on NFL scores and columns. The Internet seems to be the triple threat of mass media mediums. I watched video of last nights games, read articles about up coming games, and listen to excerpts from sports talk radio. As I head to the store, I noticed countless billboards. Some were advertising products, others advertised ideals. Certain aspects of mass media and advertising seem to mesh together. While a sign for McDonald's may not be a billboard, it certainly covers the same real estate and gets the point across.
Television is still the staple of mass media. The majority of comerical on TV my kids know by heart. We often watch re-runs of "The Simpsons", out of habit.
