What’s the point?

You are probably thinking what’s the point of reading this website? Well, that’s very easy really. People need to know what is what and why these events are happening. Well my space will be filled with wonderful criticism about movies and other entertainment and media consumption!
We cannot go without having been exposed to these sorts of media. Day by day, people are given the opportunity to see different sides of media and we, as consumers, have to be critical in order to absorb the correct information. Though we are seen as passive consumers, absorbing all the information given to us without understanding the underlying meaning of the text. By simply absorbing the information given to us proves that people do not show the skill of criticism. With regards to this space, my mission is to provide out readers with a critical outlook on the media as a whole. Movies, radio, internet and so on provide consumers of the media with vital information but it is up to the consumer to critically define the lines between the acceptable and not acceptable information.
We have to as journalist, look at the media as critically as possible. We cannot simply sit back and believe everything that we are told. Devouring all the information that may or may not have any sort of purpose, yet we are willing to accept it as it is. We have to look at why they may be saying what they say, when and in what tone. What point of view are they coming from? What sort of writer would produce this sort of information? A lot of thought needs to be put to good use when analysing all media based and media produced information.

With regards to our blog, we as the authors aim at showing the readers how we think and the reason as to why we think this way.
