Media Consumption.

Media consumption is the sum of information and entertainment taken in by an individual or group. It includes many activities such as interacting with new media, reading books or magazine; watching television or films; listening to radio and so on.

We all use many different kinds of media every day, it would include little things that you would do as a daily routine, such as using your mobile phone, listening to the radio, watching TV and even surfing the internet.

One of the many things that I do which involves the media would be watching films, either on television or the internet. I would usually prefer to watch horror films, or sometimes comedy depending on the mood. One of my favourite horror films to watch would be Nightmare on Elm Street, this film is a hybrid as it has three genres; thriller, horror and mystery.  Another one of the things I do which involves media is listening to music. I do this either through my phone, the internet (youtube, soundcloud), or the TV. I listen to many different type of genres, some mainstream and some subculture, such as Dubstep for example. Although dubstep is my favourite genre, my favourite artist is an R&B singer, The Weeknd. The third example of what I do which involves in using the media is I occasionally read gossip magazines for entertainment purposes, such as Heat, Ok!.. etc. The last example of another thing I use/do which includes media is generally using my iPhone which has many socialising apps such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter and Tumblr.
