1. Where do you normally look for news?
I try to watch the News on TV every night and i read the newspaper every morning...i like to know what's going on.
2. What is your main source of news?
Television and Newspapers
3. Which source of media do you believe is most reliable when it comes to news? The news on SBS is probably the most relianble as it is less biased
4. Rate the importance you place on the stories that usually get the headlines (1 being of the least importance and 10 being of the most):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
5. a) How do you rate the importance of sporting stories? 2
b) How do you rate the importance of entertainment stories? 2
c) How do you rate the importance of human interest stories? 3
d) How do you rate the importance of political stories? 5
e) How do you rate the importance of world news stories? 7
f) How do you rate the importance of crime stories? 6
6. a) What type of stories do you believe deserve to be the front page news stories? Stories that are significant to us and the world as a whole. b) Why? because we all need to know what is going on in the world especially as the world continues to get smaller through increased use of technology.7. Do you believe the news stories that get most coverage are an adequate representation of what you care about?(explain)
No i think that most of what gets covered in the news isn't as important as some of the issues that don't get covered.
8. a) What influence do you think the media has on what IS important to you? i guess that if they are showing something alot it makes you stop and think about the issue more. It often influences what my friends and i discuss.b) Why do you think this would be the case? The news is often biased so that you believe what the news readers tell you to believe
9. a) What influence do you think the media has on what IS important to society? probably the same as the influence it has on meb) Why do you think this would be the case? Same reasons
10. How do you feel about the influence media has on society? I think that sometimes the media has too much influence...it sometimes tells people what to believe and can distort the evidence
