Since the beginning of our classes when we talk about media I always think of TV and movies. I forget that another form of media is books! So I thought I would write about my all time favorite book series Harry Potter. In class we always talk about how society influences media. I was thinking of how a type of media can also affect media. The book series of Harry Potter written by JK Rowling is a form of media. After the first couple of books were written they began to also make a series of Harry Potter movies. So in this case because of the books the more popular known form of media (movies) is made!

Your blog about your favorite books makes me think about how mass media has changed so much. Yes, we've had t.v. and film for a good while, but think about when books were an important part of the media. A lot of us read the book "Fahrenheit 451" in high school and it was written as a objection to burning certain books. Most people couldn't care less about books that could be considered "inappropriate" anymore. In fact, more people care about the ratings on video games now a days. This could possibly be a reflection of our society and why so many are uneducated. We have too many kids going home and playing video games for 6 hours, and don't once spend at least 30 minutes reading.
