WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE MEDIA?
Mum
For me, it’s all about listening. I’m very busy, so I don’t have much time for reading or watching TV. I need something I can do while I’m doing other things. For example, when I do housework, I usually listen to the radio. When I travel to work, I listen to podcasts and audiobooks on my mobile phone. It makes boring jobs and journeys to work more fun.
Dad
I’m not as modern as you kids. I like holding real newspapers and magazines in my hands. And then there’s radio, of course. That’s where I find out what’s going on in the world. It’s where I hear about new music, too. I love singing while listening to the radio. But my number one type of media is television, because there I can see and hear so many different things.
Sarah
I like both traditional and modern media. First come books. I always have one with me, wherever I go. But you can read all sorts of things on the Internet, too. I use the Internet to help me with my school assignments. I also read articles about photography and travel online. And I like to share my travel photos. The most important thing about digital media is that I can keep in touch with my friends and family.
