1.What are your main concerns or criticisms about the state of media studies at your college or university? I think that the media studies at Lenoir Rhyne are pretty good. If i am understanding what a media study is, i believe that they should help you a little more with jobs. When you go to choose your major they should tell you right then what fields are open and give you some idea if you will have a good chance of getting a job in that field or not.
2.One charge that has been leveled against a lot of media research both the effects and the cultural models is that it has very little impact on changing our media institutions? Do you agree or disagree?
I would somewhat agree because like me everybody has a different opinion about the media. Although my opinion about the media is not always a good one. I believe that most of the media likes to feed on the bad things that go wrong more than the good things that happen. The media has a tendency to also lie about things or not write the whole truth. So i would have to say that it does have a little impact on the media institutions rather than a big impact.
3. Can you think of an issue that media industry and academic researchers could study together?
One issue that i think the media industry and academic researchers could study together is the issue on steroids. Although steroids are illegal i think that in baseball the media is blowing the issue of players using them to another level. I think that researchers and the media should get together and see if they should really be illegal. Although steroids allow you to hit the ball farther you still have to hit the 90 mph fastballs and the curve balls that break 2 feet.
