Description: Recent surveys suggest that the average college-age American spends upwards of six hours a day consuming media of one form or another. Moreover, from television to streaming, radio to podcasts, and print media to social media, the range and volume of content available is staggering. Despite the realities of our unique consumption habits and personalized algorithms, overlap remains—a viral reel or the shared experience of time lost doom-scrolling. To understand how this relationship to media shapes our society, our culture, and ourselves, we need to start from those common elements and experiences.
