I thought it was very interesting to see how different people thought differently about what media literacy was. I had to cut a fair chunk of each interview out but I thought it was particularly interesting that no one had a clear definition of what media literacy was. Everyone thought it was a bit different. It was especially interesting how my medical biology major friend immediately thought of scientific articles while my soon to be english major thought of literature and my mother thought of social media. I just found it interesting that no one had a super clear definition for it which was part of the reason I was doing this. I also thought it was interesting my little sister thought that it was increasing. I had gone into this project assuming that most people would have answered that it was decreasing but she proved me wrong. I’m wondering if to Sophia’s point that’s because Hannah hasn’t made it to college yet and is a bit more sheltered that way. That’s why I thought it was important to interview different age groups though. I thought this was interesting to talk about and I like how the final edit turned out! I do think it’s a bit unfortunate that I had to cut so much as I quickly learned eight minutes is like nothing when you have three interviewees. But I think I kept the important bits. I thought this was a fun way to end the interviews!
