  Hello Everyone, Today I will be discussing the project that I am currently working on with my peers which is the topic of Identity, representation, and the media. I and my peers decided to discuss the following topics: the LGBTQ+ community, toxic masculinity, and feminism as well as racism and how these topics are represented in the media as well as their impact in media. In this, we split those topics for us to research information on and what topic I got is how the LGBTQ+ community is represented in the media and the impacts the LGBTQ+ community have in the media. As I have said I will be talking about how the LGBTQ+ community  is represented in the media, as well as their impacts in media. As of right now, I have only found my finding on how the LGBTQ+ community is represented in media and from what I have found is that according to one website called Seat Up that statistics from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has brought some welcome news for t...

 Hello Everyone,   Today I will be talking about how the rewritten work of my blog post that I have submitted for feedback went and how I changed it to be a bit better than how I have written it beforehand. To start off my rewriting experience was quite difficult as I must think hard about what I am going to say and how I would structure the layout of my post to be as well as how it can appeal to the readers that will be reading the blog post, having read the following articles have helped me understand how to structure my paragraphs. Although it wasn’t fun to do I had learned a lot from this. The things that I have learned use an active voice and what I think they meant by this is to word sentences to make them make sense. As well as mix things up a bit with the words being used so that it won’t be as repetitive and boring to read and to tell readers what is being discussed that way the readers would not be confused. For me using quotes helps prove my point but also...

  Hello Everyone, In today’s blog, I will be talking about the impact of digital media and why it can be useful in many ways. As for why I’m talking about this is that I think it can help why we use digital platforms and media in our daily lives and a few resources can help explain why it has a great impact on our lives. The word “ literacy” in original terms is someone who could read and write as well as connect with visual knowledge to rational brain processes.   In the first site, I visited for my research called Media Literacy Ireland, it is said that the main components that make up digital literacy are the ability to do the following: Understand and critically evaluate broadcasts, digital and other media content and services, in order to make informed choices and the best manage media use; Access and use broadcast and digital media content and services in a safe and secure manner, to maximise risks; Create and participate via media, in a responsible, ethical and effectiv...

  Hello everyone,   Today I will be talking about Media Ethics and how ethics play a huge role in how media functions within society. It is said that Ethics is a broad topic and can touch on many topics such as mental health, social inclusion, representation, sensitivity, balance, truth, and transparency. A good place to start considering ethics is to explore the UN sustainable development goals. The following 17 goals set out a roadmap for developing a more ethical and equal global society. They are not directly related to digital media, but they will give you a good idea of some of the issues of inequality that can affect our perspective on ethics. However, in my research, I have found a few sources that talks about today’s topic of discussion.   One video I have watched called “The Medium is the message” by Folding Ideas where they talk about how we know very little about the medium and still to this day quite so radical. 51 years of after understanding media w...
