Media Obsessions

Alright, so recently I was given an assignment to find an article to write about, but in every place I looked, I mainly found articles on the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.  Using the following article (http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2011/04/10/attend-royal-wedding/) I decided to write on media obsessions, or fads, if you will.  Whenever anything that is usually of little importance occurring in the world, all of modern media decides to write on it. I wouldn't be as annoyed by this specific event, but it mainly pertains to England, and it seems that all of America is watching instead.  The article I read even went as far as to tell us petty details such as who was or wasn't invited.  Now I don't think that this is always the case for some media obsessions.  For example, when there was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, all of media covered that, but that is okay considering it was more of a disaster that may have had a great impact on the world.  All I am really saying is, I believe that the media's focus is off in today's world, and once we realize this, we can also find our own priorities to be out of focus as well.  My name Is Joseph Readdy, and I approve this message as well.

Welcome

Alright, to start I would just like to say thank you for actually reading my blog.  This is probably the one time I will ever say this so I might as well get it out of the way.  This blog will be all about modern media (duh) and how it should be done.  You see, there are many people who use quotes like, "It's all been done before."  And in my personal opinion, that's just people giving up on creativity.  I know that this quote can't be true; otherwise movies like Inception wouldn't exist.  While today's cinematography goes up, people's ideas seem to go down, but I will not accept this.  Either all of America's writers are on strike, having extreme writer's block, or being really lazy.  My name is Joseph Readdy, and I approve this message.
