Impact of Mediated Messages

denned

 

Prepare: If you take a poll and ask others if they feel they are influenced by media, the majority will probably answer “no.” In reality, we are all impacted by mediated messages whether we realize it or not. Read Chapter 13. Potter (2014) discusses several types of effects which we will explore in this discussion.
 
Reflect: After reading the chapter, try to think of one example that illustrates each media effect from all of the media (informative, entertainment, and persuasive) that you have engaged in throughout the course. Think about the audiences for which the messages were intended. You also may wish to think about unintended audiences and possible effects of the messages on them as well.
 

Write: Once you have thought of an example to illustrate each effect, choose two of them to discuss in at least 250 words. In your post, clearly explain the effect in your own words and how the example illustrates that effect. In your post, you must include at least one in-text citation from the reading material related to each effect and you must also include an image or link to the mediated message that you are discussing. At the end of your post, include your name and a full reference for all sources cited in the body of your post. All citations and references must adhere to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
