Part 1

Here are some common themes that I observed:

• 1. Popularity of non-English-language media: one common theme was the popularity of foreign language media, including Anime, K-pop, C-dramas, and Bollywood movies.
  • Benson Hsu
  • Michael Kha
  • Kylee Friederichs
  • Connor Fergus
  • Nebiyou Ersabo
  • Rohan Dhawan
  • Wenjing Chen
• 2. Most people did not divide their media into strict categories of consumer vs producer. Some did, however, and listed types of media that they created themselves, such as videos, art and music.
  • Jiwon Kim
  • Li Shen
  • Matthew Atanas
  • Khanh Dao
• 3. Although there was a diverse selection of music, movies, and TV shows watched, there was much less variety in the forms of social media used. Almost everyone who listed a social media category used some combination of YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok, and Snapchat.
  • Liam Benkel
  • Kimberly Chen
  • Harshitha Dhulipala
  • Arya Gupta
  • Gohyun Kim
  • Vincent Lobello
  • Sathvik Kote
  • Lasyasri Shilpi
  • Zihao Wang

Part 2

One revision I would make to my media categorization would be to create a separation between media that I consume, such as movies, TV shows, and music, and media that I produce, such as emails, social media posts, etc. This was something that I did not do in my first assignment, but I saw others do it and I think it is a good idea.
