Response to Isabella Bonilla's: Consumption of Mass Communication

Response to Isabella Bonilla's: Consumption of Mass Communication

By Piper Shiflet

As I read Isabella's article, Consumption of Mass Communication, I became more intrigued in her explanation and views on this topic. She pointed out many ideas and thoughts she had, as well as questions. Isabella ends her first paragraph with the question, "How do we observe this information, and whats the science behind the phycological categorization?" She expresses her thoughts about how we process mass communication, which interested me as well.
Throughout the article Isabella kept a consistent mindset, educating other people about what she already knew, and also diving deeper into topics we didn't discuss in our recent lectures in class. I found this quite interesting and found myself wanting to know the answer too.
She then goes to explain her interest in filters, especially the phycological filter. Isabella explained it as, "When you impose the physiological filter on your daily life, you basically shun this whole part of your world. If it doesn't fit your views, you won't even acknowledge." While explaining her interest in phycological filters, Isabella also talks about how difficult it is for many people to have a physical filter, where they are unable to read the paper based on a physical issue.
Overall I think that Isabella's article and writing style are very unique and make you question things as much as she questions it herself. I really enjoyed the fact that she could see her interest in the lecture, and how dedicated Isabella was to being attentive in class.

We talked about Magazines including different types of content, making them appeal to more audiences. Comics and pictures were used to draw in people who were illiterate, and other things such as recipes, poems, and songs were effective towards aliterate people.  I found it interesting that many types of media have had to desmassify throughout history, because of other new medias taking their spot, magazines being no different. Though I still find interest in magazines. People flip through them in waiting offices or purchase them before a plane ride. Almost like movies, magazines are still a quite popular form of media that we see. In fact, some magazines are making more money off the peo...

Response to Demassification

Response to Demassification  By Piper Shiflet Demassification was a word I had never heard of until our recent discussion about the topic in class. We had covered mass communication in pervious weeks, but demassification was a new concept. The thought originally stuck in my head that demassification meant losing your mass audience in some way, but it wasn't, it was how you deal with losing your mass audience. I had to think about this for a long time, how exactly would I deal with losing a mass audience?  During this situation you would have to figure out how to gain your audience back, and this is seen everywhere, especially in social media, which I had realized as the definition was being told to me. You see demassification everywhere in this century, and that's why I was surprised that I had never heard of the term before. Demassification happens all the time, and I was oblivious. That's why I was so interested in this topic.  We then proceeded to learn about ...
