Part one. An example of how this part can be done is attached as a file.This week, you’ll do
some ethnographic field research by observing and taking notes. Spend one day
documenting your media consumption, from the time you get up to the time you go to
sleep. Keep track of:What forms of media you consume: TV, radio, print media, Internet,
video gamesWhat types of media: mass media, social mediaHow long do you spend?What is
the general content? News, entertainment, homework platforms, online shopping, etc. In
your notes, document the “media messages” you receive in the course of the day. By “media
message”, I mean each separate instance of media consumption, or each time you shift your
media focus. For instance, if you’re watching the news on TV, you might consider a half
hour news program two kinds of messages: “news” and “commercials.” If you’re online
checking different social media sites, that could all count as one.For EACH media message
that you document, identify its MAIN function: Does it socialize, enforce a social norm,
confer status, or promote consumption? If you believe a single message performs multiple
functions, you can check multiple functions Part two InstructionsDescribe your overall
results. What kinds of media did you consume, and what functions were present? Be as
specific as possible – include counts or categories from your notes. (Optional, but
encouraged: attach your record/notes to this post). Using your sociological imagination,
identify at least three demographic or cultural factors that are likely to influence patterns of
media consumption (what people consume, how much, etc.). How do you think these
factors influence your own consumption habits?In your tally of the functions of media
messages, which function was most common (showed up most frequently)? Explain how
the media messages you observed performed this function, using at least two specific
examples. (For instance, how did a news story confer status? How did an Instagram ad
promote consumption?)
