1. How would you describe your pattern of media consumption?
   • What media activities do you spend the most time doing?

(I spend a lot of time on Instagram and Facebook, scrolling through and reading what my friends and family are up to these days. As well as follow a few celebrities and fan pages of some of my favorite shows like The Bachelor, Queer Eye, and The Kardashians. I also spend a majority of my time online in dating apps trying to find a partner. I also enjoy listening to podcasts pertaining to LGBT, romance and teacher comedy.)

• What is the total number of hours you spend consuming media content?

(I would say roughly 4-5 hours a day.)

• How many hours include multitasking?

(I would say around 2 hours, that is me using my phone while at work, or completing homework or doing some home chores on the side.)

1. How does your time-consuming media compare to the time you spend doing other things such as sleeping, eating, and exercising?
2. Do you feel that your media consumption takes time away from doing other “important” things, such as doing homework, chores, work, etc.?

(Not really, I feel like I do a pretty good job at managing my time.)

1. What conclusions can you reach about the sources and perspective of your media content?

(I could be receiving some biased information as I only listen to things that interest me and that I support, for example on a lot of LGBT issues I would probably be only receiving positive feedback because the podcasts that I listen are by LGBT creators themselves. Another example, might be politics I mostly only follow democratic leaders and politicians on my social medias giving me mostly democratic views.)

1. What potential biases could you be exposed to?
2. What recommendations would you make to broaden your menu of media consumption?

(Listen to more news channels that broaden my overall learning about what is happening all over the world, whether I like the news or not, hearing things from all perspectives not only will it keep me well informed but also more well-rounded.)
