 What are you studying? Instigated multimedia. Perfect! It could not be real! Perfect! Okay, so you're going to know the answers to these questions. Okay, the first answer... First answer. I give you the answer to give you the answer. The first question is, have you changed your reading habits or your news habits since this administration began? Talk about Trump? Yeah. Yeah. In what way? Basically, before, a lot of things didn't affect me. And especially since I'm just starting to get into college. So once the administration came in place, there's a lot of things you need to look into because when Trump makes posts, it's not as a normal president would. You have to go and read the actual laws and things that are happening because from what he puts out, you can't tell what's happening. It's too vague. Interesting. So what does this mean in terms of the media in general? He's bypassing the media, isn't he? Yeah. What does that mean? Just like the last reading I had in class was about encoding decoding. When you put out the information and someone reacts to it and sets out their reaction with media, that's a whole other thing that people are consuming. So instead of looking at international news when Trump says something about that news and people look at his reaction, they're not getting the full story. Or they're getting different parts of the story, different views when they really need something else. Does this have an effect on the inner workings and hidden mechanisms of democracy itself? Yeah, because people are always seeing very strong sides of it and they see negatives and instead of forming their opinions on the real things, they form opinions on someone else's opinions. Interesting, yeah. So that means that we all have to look at this differently. Yeah. How should we be looking at it differently? How should we be changing our way of finding and consuming news? Well, if you're like a Republican or a Democrat, you shouldn't just look into the news that your party puts out. Because especially now there's a lot of tension between the two, so it's good to find neutral parties, especially international news. If you're an American, lots of other countries report on American events, so you should just take more international approach to things. How about you? How have you changed? Are you reading more sources now? Are you looking at more? It's hard to avoid. Even if you don't want to read, you're going to know things. It's just thrown at you. So if you don't want to just take what's thrown at you and if you don't trust that information, then you need to start looking because you can't just always, what comes to you might not be the real thing. Yeah, yeah. How about you? How have you changed your habits personally? Oh, I got to know now. Okay, this is Gordon Bruce. He's one of our hosts at Think Tech. We're upstairs at Think Tech on the 8th floor. And we do a lot of video. We stream on the internet 24 hours. You've heard of us? No, actually. He's a media student. He has some questions for you. So a couple of questions after this. Do you watch television? Do you use the television for news? Not really, not so much. Like my parents do, but I find that the news on the television is more either CNN or Fox. I prefer to just go online. No, what about radio? Radio. Because radio has a lot of news channels, like national public radio, white public radio. I actually don't listen to too much radio. The only station I listen to is the college radio for UH. And they have different speakers every three hours, so I get a good mix of news. It's not really... What about blogs? Do you follow any blogs? Or any social media sites? Are you a follower of any special people on Twitter or Facebook or anything like that that gives you news? I think social media, especially, it's becoming a real source now. Because, like I said, when people post their reactions, there's the news in the link. And that's a good way to find it. So what message would you give up to your peers and your friends that where should they be going to get what you believe is to be the neutral news? Really, honestly, like, Twitter is big right now. But you can't just, like, read what people are quoting. You have to read what they're reading to. So not just the posts, but what they're talking about. Very good, very, very good point. All right, well, good luck at school. And where are you from? I'm from here.
