Today we discussed “born digital” media and media that exists in both analog and digital formats, media ownership, and various emerging media formats in which information is created and distributed. If you notice any examples of alternative media (print or digital), feel free to share it in class or on the blog.
Slides from today are available here.
On Monday, September 10, we will discuss non-text media, including sound, images, and multimedia. Please read Pavlik pp. 79-84 (distributed in class or obtain on reserve in the City Tech library), Sisario, “Muve music, for mobile users, thrives in shadow of competitors,” and Elton, “Love for labels.” You can get help with off-campus access to library databases if necessary. Write one reading response blog post of at least 100 words; remember that your reading response blog posts should not just summarize the content of the reading, but should also critique, analyze and/or question it. It is OK to focus on one part of the writer’s argument.
