As a Public Relations major, I learned so much in this class that I can use in my future career. Researching how media is incorporated into PR and what skills are needed in order to succeed in the field undoubtedly better prepared me for the “real world.”

In addition to learning about media in the workforce, I learned a great deal about how media affects my personal life. I realized how dependent I can be on media at times, from Netflix binge watching to simply using my phone as a GPS.

Discussing legacy media was also really interesting, because some of the media we talked about I had never even thought of as a thing of the past. I had just forgotten about them entirely. That discussion brought back the childhood days of computer game discs and iPod shuffles.
