QUESTIONS

Write an autobiographical entry on your relationship with the media. (what and why you consume- what you like and dislike in the media etc.

Also, compare different Turkish media outlets- are the levels in reliability different- are some outlets more reliable than others- what makes you think this (try to give specific examples)

Media is tools used to store and deliver information or data such as newpapers, television stations, magazines, radio etc. there are different tpes of media, some of them are print, mass, advertising, electronic, new and like others. I am really interesested in media, I always watch tv or listen radio and olsa reading news or magazines. I think it has got great impact on human life, if there wasn’t media we cannot learn anything about our country, other people or world. In my opinion, media is a bridge between us and world. For example, I live in dormitary and I cannot learn what happens in world or Turkey without media. I always try to watch news or read newspaper from the Internet. Before I live in dormitary, I spent my time with watching tv approximatly 7 or 8 hours. I really like watching tv especially tv series. But I don’t like magazines on tv such as famous people’s private life. Also in media part, we talked about reality tv and I don’t like reality tv programmes. For instance, nowadays lots of Turkish people are interesested in Yemekteyiz but I really hate this programme. In addiiton, I usually watch news and discussion programmes so I can learn lots of things about my country and world, I think they have lots of benefits for teenagers. But unfortunately news’ , discussion programmes’ or newspapers’ levels in reliability are different, some of them are more reliable. In my opinion, their owners have great impact on reliable and they think individual especialy in Turkey. It shows that some of them are dummy of others or try to give reasons and information specificly. Also, the media companies’ owners get money from them so they using media as a tool of making money and try to get more money. It cause that competion between them and for rating sometimes they make bad programs such as some reality tv programmes: ‘ gelinim olur musun?’. I really don’t like from these programmes, i think that they makes people silly. Also competiton between can decrease levels in reliability of media outlets, because some of them make programs for only money and these programs can be uncorrect. In addition, in my opinion, the diffrence levels in reliability of media outlets can be occured by their owners’ choice becuse some of them manage media outlets for making money, some of them  for their individual goals and some of them which are succesful get owner of their media outlets because of their community and try to enlight people.
