When asked what question drives my interest in the media, I honestly go back to the basics- why do people consume the media they do? What experiences back their interests in the content that they so readily intake, and how does it make them feel?
Personally, the media I consume is most commonly the kind that leaves me feeling positive, inspired, and content. I unashamedly put on the ‘rose-colored glasses’ that cheesy movies, shows, books, videos, etc. strive to give. Honestly, I feel as if the world around me brings enough ‘reality’ and discouragement into the picture; if an hour spent reading a sweet love story brings me joy and the encouragement to love the life I live, then so be it!
In the same breath, I am so interested in the reasons why others consume certain types of media and what extent of fulfillment it brings!! I personally don’t feel much fulfillment through media consumption, but I know that this is not the case for everyone, and I would love to learn more about the driving factor behind the scrolling of our thumbs.
That’s all for today, folks!
Simply,
Sydney
