propaganda in advertising/PR
http://www.oldspice.com/downloads/
Old Spice is filled with the "beautiful people technique" and they use many "slogans".
I tried to find the commercial where Apple says "Its a Mac" referring to its the best computer out but I couldn't find it. :(..It would be black and white fallacy because they are competing with microsoft.
Also..do campaign commercials count?

Internet
I counted 194 social networking websites. I have heard of facebook, linkedin, myspace, twitter, flickr and xanga. I have never heard of the site hi5. On wikipedia it says that its not popular in the US but popular in the countries India, Mongolia, Thailand, Romania, Jamacia, Central Africa and Latin America. When I went to the website, it kind of reminds me of myspace because its so not personal and very open for people to see and lurk. I am very particular with my facebook, I dont like adding people I don't know. And I think its pretty creepy to be add people I don't know. I think that way because your showing people things about your life and posting things you may not want the whole world to see. The only problem I really ever have is girls shit talking over the internet and being malicious. For instance, the other day my boyfriend had posted a picture of me and a girl commented back saying..." ew, she is so ugly why are you even going out with her??" I personally thought that was very rude and this girl would never say that to my face which is ironic, so drama is the only problem i've had with facebook.

Length: 4:46
Description: I think it gives an overall look at where media is today and how it has effected our everyday lives. It gives data and facts which I thought was very cool and they did it in a creative way.
Chapter name: It honestly includes all the parts in the book Mass Media.
Question: Is the decline in news paper sales due to the internet? Or...Has social networking sites shaped society to be materialistic?
Answer: YES to both.

Movie
Write 1-2 sentences about your favorite movie of 2009-10 and why you liked it. Write 1-2 more sentences about your all-time favorite movie and why you like it. In which format(s) did you first see these movies? Add links to both in rottentomatoes.com or IMDB.com Bonus: find and embed (not just link) a trailer for one of the movies.
Ah! Its so hard to just pick one. There are a few that are so good you can watch them over and over ANNDD over..I think my favorite movie might be the first Twilight, cliche I know but it is a really good movie. I think its the forbidden love aspect makes it so powerful. Picking my all time favorite movie is super hard to pick because when I was a kid I use to watch the same movie everyday for like a month! The movie Stepmom with Julia Roberts is one of my favorites. I saw Stepmom when I was young and Twilight just recently came out.

Magazine Proposal
Name: How does it differ: A lot of magazines I read all have a lot of sob articles about how their boyfriends cheated on them which is annoying. I don't want my magazine to be based on sex and relationships. I want mine to be feminist, incorporate "girl power" but also have some politics/ news from all over the world that people should be informed about. It will be professional, witty and fun. I also want my magazine to have a fashion section which will have sexy laid back clothes that are comfortable and affordable and of course gossip on celebrities. I will ask for feed back from my readers so I know what I can Improve and so I know what the readers want more of. Its different because I think it will end up controversial from the content which will encourage women to be independent and live life to the fullest by feeling good about who they are.
Readers: I think it will catch a lot of attention among women in their twenties and thirties. It will probably reach out to middle/upper class and people to like to feel good about themselves and have an opinion.
Other Magazines: I have never read it but supposedly "Bitch", allure, cosmopolitan minus so much sex and relationships.
Investors/advertisers: I want my investor to be Perez Hilton!!! I want Bare Minerals make up, Nike, Fekkai Hair products, o.p.i nail polish and Tiffany and co.
5 articles: Get everything you want, Don't settle for less than you best, think pink (Susan G Komen article october is breast cancer awareness month), Perez Hilton's blogs (he wont put on the internet all the blogs, he will save a certain amount that he favorites to put in the magazine to get people to buy it), Politics, who cares and best places to get pampered.

BOOKS
There is one book that i've really enjoyed and stuck with me in my lifetime of reading.The Catcher and the Rye has influenced me and people throughout the world because of Holden's confusion, anger and how he expresses it(which is by acting rebellious). Many teenagers can relate to the frustration about life that Holden has but also the coming of age story is also why its an awesome book.

Media Impact
My media impact project is going to revolve around reality t.v. affect people unconsciously . I am going to do a series of cultural and gender studies on the reality t.v. shows Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club, and The Real World. Reality t.v. is expanding in our society and it alters the way people interact with one another. I think I'm going to try and prove that people (including younger generations) mimic the way reality t.v. stars act. I predict that people believe in too much of what they see on t.v.

Media Autobiography
BLOG 1: Media Autobiography
Its hard not to somehow be involved with the media in today's society because its the base of our communication these days. Books are my least favorite form of media because I feel that sometimes when I'm looking for information in a book, its outdated. Out dated books could be handy, but its usually not. I don't really go to books if I need information unless its a school project and its required to use a book as a source.
Newspapers are a great way for a person to catch up on the area/big cities around you. They are daily so your reading things that just happened or going to happen. I'm not subscribed to any news papers even though I think newspapers are important in our society. I prefer to read newspaper articles over the internet just because its more convenient. If your looking for a particular story you heard about about or just want to see whats going on in the world, its easier to punch into Google and see tons of articles and find.
I really enjoy magazines, all types of magazines. I will buy 10 magazines over a book any day. I am not subscribed to any because every month is different so id rather just go into Barnes and Nobles and find what I'm interested in. I am not really sure how a recording is media and I personally don't consider the radio media even though it has music and rarely good information. This is because the people who usually are the hosts only talk about dumb stuff that doesn't really apply to me because its just garbage. Now days people listen to their ipod's so know body is listening to them anyways. The only time I can recall the radio ever being really useful was the morning of 9/11 and listening to AM radio when the planes crashed into the twin towers. I'd rather get verbal information through the television. Its our society's main source of information and communication. It could have hundreds of channels if you have cable, and you could pick anything you feel like watching. In the future, I would like to transfer to UCLA's film school so I could create my own movies with my own thoughts.
