Reflection

By switching up what I may usually watch on TV as well as reaching to more people to learn what they use too.

• What will you change in your media consumption habits this year as a result of studying A Level Media?

I will watch more television programmes and spend more time listening to the radio as I don't do that enough as I should

• List three sources of media (websites/newspapers/apps/TV programmes etc.) that you will start to access this year that you haven't engaged with previously.

I'll start using buzzfeed more as well as reading the Sun and I'll watch different TV genres.
