Media Autobiography

The media has been around my life since i was born literally. My families background starts way back in the 60's. My grandfather owned one of the first Mexican theaters in California which featured some of the most talked about talents in that genre at that time. In the 70's he bought a radio station again targeted towards the Mexican community called Radio Kaza. So inevitably my family still owned this radio station while i was born in 1984.This to me was my calling as to why I am so interested in this type of media.

As a child I remember going around the office with my mom and going into the production studio. If I was at my grand parents house the radio station would constantly be playing. I believe these habbit's lead to my constant need to be around music, movies and Tv for the most part. I love the entertainment part of media which makes sense due to my constant creativity and majors i choose as an adult student.

As for books, newspapers,magazine and internet use are all other sources that have been influenced through school at a later age. I was able to use it for school purposes and from there it opened the doors to making me more savvy and prepared to getting more involved at least for the internet that is. The magazines I would use for either gossip in the entertainment purposes and for a brief time I would use them to read about cars. In this present time I read them for health purposes to update me on new exercise and eating tips which is one of my common reading "Mens Health".

Television in my child hood was huge and i was big on cartoons and kid show so of course i would become a victim to all the advertisements that were directed towards us. I was a spoiled kid who would always have the most talked about inventions and toys targeted towards my age group. Media is around and huge and it can be used positively or negatively point being its every where and it will interfere into your life. You can decide on how it will do that it can brain wash you and make you buy things you don't need or it can be used to inform you on your present day in your community or all around the world.
