Media Usage and Production

The document contains media usage statistics from a media diary study. It shows that the respondent spent the most time using music (34% of total media usage) and Facebook (18%). Their average daily internet usage was 1 hour and 43 minutes. For news, they received the most from online news (20% of news consumption) but very little from other sources like newspapers, radio, or television. Their media production, such as blogging and social media posting, was much lower than their media consumption.

Most used: Music, facebook I am not surprised that my most used medias were music and facebook. The accessibility of music allows it to be listened to at any time during the day and whilst doing many other things like studying, going to the gym or sitting on the bus, therefore is my biggest outlier. This is very similar to the results found in the jour1111 survey as 89% said they listen to music on their ipod, iphone or smart phone. Synonymous with 92% of Jour1111 students, Facebook was the major contributor to my internet usage. This is not surprising as I seem to be addicted to the social networking site. With new technology, facebook is almost as accessible as music as it can be utilized by phones. This is evidenced as an overwhelming amount of 95% of students have facebook download as an app on their smart phones. Average Daily Internet Usage and Production

3-4hrs 23%

2-3hrs 30%

My average daily internet usage and production was 1 hour and 43 minutes. When I completed the jour1111 survey, I answered 2-3hours but my Media Diary reveals that during my 10 days of logging I spent, on average, 1 hour and 43 minutes daily. However, the circumstances during those 10 days were a little different than usual as I had many assignments and had already completed the research for them. Thus, if I had not done this online research earlier, my internet usage and production would be much higher and most likely the same as the 30% of students in my cohort.

My living arrangements, being a college student, greatly influence how I receive my news. On campus I have no access to newspapers and do not watch TV as all students are provided with a streaming tv site, advertisement free. This dramatically affects my relationship with Journalism and Communication as I receive little news because I am

new to the practise of looking up news online and I would much prefer to read a newspaper or watch the news on TV. Although I spend a lot of time online, the least amount of this time is spent on receiving online news. I do not classify facebook as a news outlet as it is not reliable. Living so close to UNI, I do not drive and hence, do not listen to the radio in the car, missing out on quick news updates. Without easy access to these things, I am not subconsciously inundated with the current affairs of Australia and the world. I completed a quick survey, asking 20 college students if they had watched or read the news since they had moved into college at the beginning of semester. An alarming 90% had not had any access to the news during this time. I believe because the information is not put directly in front of college students, they will not spend their time searching through the internet for news. Although the legends in the graph are different, the comparison still shows that a lot of news is accessed by jour1111 students, compared to my minimal amount of usage. The high percentage of students receiving their news from mediums where I have received none demonstrates that I need to dramatically improve my relationship with journalism and media. These graphs also show old media being dominated by Information web (web 1.0), new media (web 2.0) and semantic web (web 3.0).

Media Usage Vs. Production

Media Usage vs. Production. There is a major difference between my media usage and production. My media production included blogging, emailing, tumblr and twitter. Everything else, including facebook, was logged as usage. I am referring to facebook as usage rather than production because I do not tend to post many things on facebook and most of my time is spent absorbing information, rather than out letting. My results will reflect the vast majority of students as they answered predominately that they had no twitter or blog accounts and only one facebook account. Although these students, as did I, will have to activate accounts for the course, being new to the social medias will perhaps mean that they are not yet hooked to the sites and will not spend as much time as students who answered more than one account.
