- Your age group has been referred to as the "MTV Generation," which carries a negative connotation of teen-agers that have little to no interest in anything, and even if you did, your attention span is grossly limited. Is this true?
- Where do you get your news?
- If a news article is accompanied by a photograph, do you read the article or rely totally on the visual?
- Is it impossible for a "complicated message to be relayed in a 10-second sound bite" that the news media uses to get the message across? Is this possible? What are the advantages of using photographs? What are the disadvantages?
a.) I don't think this is true at all. Generalizing a whole generation into one category is completely unfair.
b.) I get my news from the Internet, television news programs and the newspaper.
c.) I usually look at the photo first and, if it catches my attention, I read the article to find out what it's about.
d.) I think it is possible to relay a piece of news in 10 seconds, but it might be impossible to include the whole picture of the story. The advantages of using photos is that they can sum up an entire story in a way that only takes the reader a few seconds to understand. However, the disadvantages include the photos sometimes being misleading or misinterpreted, damaging the story or distracting the viewer from the actual story that accompanies the picture.
