    My favorite radio station is 94.9, it gives the latest hiphop and r&b out. It also does old school music, but thats mostly rare. Since im a big fan of hip hop and r&b, its the best station for me.

  2. My favorite piece of media would have to be the website Tumblr. Tumblr is a site where you can blog, play music and videos, show links and etc. In Tumblr there are people that can relate to you and post up photography or videos about a certain topic. Those certain topics can be seen by others and you are able to comment and reblog it. It's also addicting.

  3. Pandora is my favorite music station broadcaster. It can play any sort of type of music. They play music that is similar to the music you are listening to; this is a good way to learn new music as well. Pandora is free unlike other broadcaster. You can even buy your own music if you wanted to.

  4. My favorite piece of media would have to be Sports Illustrated. Every week I get an issue in the mail with the current sports news. The cover of the magazine is usually a picture of the biggest news piece in the past week. The best article is the faces in the crowd article; it features normal athletes around the U.S that achieve outstanding goals. Every year I look forward to getting the swimsuit edition because it has the best articles and stories.

  5. my favorite piece of media would be t.v, because with tv you can see what is happening around the world with videos which you can easily understand,and almost everyone in the world has a tv that they watch to know what is happening in their own country or what is happening in other countries.

    My favorite piece of media would have to be the magazine. I love reading gossip magazines about my favorite celebrities. My favorite magazine would have to be Seventeen Magazine because not only does it have the latest gossip about celebrities, but it also has real life stories about other teenagers who read it. I love how this magazine fits my age group because to me, it’s not to kiddy and not to adult. I love reading the stories about teenagers who experienced some kind of tribulation and how they overcame it.

  7. My favorite piece of media is a television show called Physch. It’s basically about two guys Sean and Gus who solve crime scenes. Sean has great abilities from his childhood that enables him to sight clues easily. To keep his job, he must pretend he’s a physic but in reality he is nothing more than a normal person. Also, Gus is his childhood friend that knows that Sean fakes his physic abilities. It’s my favorite show because it’s filled with laughter, sadness, suspense, and most importantly it entertains me.

  9. My favorite piece of media is probably TV period. I am lazy and whatever is on I watch, but NO MTV reality shows ever! Ever! To narrow it down though, most times I like comedy central presents and south park. Comedy centry Presents is just a stand up comedy show that features different comedians. South Park is an adult cartoon. It's bad. but it's still funny. South Park is a cartoon that likes to make fun of current events or stupid people and sometimes both.

  10. I like a lot of types of media, and if I were to only pick one it would be hard to pick one specifically. But I would probably pick television, only because it easiest, as sad as that sounds. Channels like Vh1 and Mtv keep me updated when I’m not up to date with my pop culture. I would prefer TV only because you don’t really have to go searching; it’s mostly all there for you all at ounce. Plus TV already has the news to keep you updated on everything else.

  11. I don’t particularly favor any sort of media, although I do like the video game-related stuff on G4, fanfiction.net, and anything that can inform me about upcoming games. I dislike those shows about cops in whatever action they’re in because they just exaggerate the action by screaming every other word and acting as if kicking the suspect into a police car is intense, even if the suspect isn’t fighting back. However, the shows like “Attack of the Show” and their game reviews are, more often than not, entertaining. Fanfiction.net is a website where random people post their fan fictions on whatever game, book, show, or more they like. Although some of the authors really need to go through an English class, the rest of the authors are pretty good and even have fan fictions that I look forward to reading. The websites, magazines, or commercials about upcoming games are also stuff I like, because I can easily find out what’s going to be in, for example, the next Harvest Moon game. Did you know that the next Harvest Moon game allows you to raise alpacas? I didn’t. I really look forward to raising giraffes, owls, and alpacas rather than just turnips and chickens. Not that chickens aren’t cool, anyway.

  12. Youtube is my favorite piece of media, because you can do many things on there. I could listen to my favorite artists and songs or I could learn how to play the ukulele. It can be very useful at times. It has tutorials for lots of things like playing instruments or learning how to dance. I could even watch videos from all around the world from my bedroom. I use Youtube almost everyday. It’s also like blogging when you comment on other people’s videos. You share thoughts about each others videos.

    My favorite piece of media is a tv show called Full House that is on a TV sation called nick at nite and also TeenNick, because Bob Saget is in it, and also because it is a really funny show that deals with real situations that can happen to anyone in real life or a tv show. it also takees place in San Francisco which is where we live. The characters of Full House are realistic and family based. My favorite episode of Full House is when they are forced to sing baby balooba by michelle (mary kate and ashley) and its just an all out good show, and fun to watch.

  16. My favorite piece of media is entertainment. A show that I always watch is Everybody Hates Chris. It’s a funny show about a 13 year old boy named Chris and his everyday life. And everybody seems to dislike him. He goes to an all white school where is his picked on. His family lives in Brooklyn, in a low-income community and his dad always make sure that everything is used up all the way and not to spend so much money. And at the end of the day, everything is backfired at Chris and that’s why everybody hates him.

  18. Well my favorite type of media is actually the TV show entertainment tonight it talks a lot about celebrities and gossip. The reason that I like this show is that most of it is true a lot of other shows start rumors that are not all that true like some magazines. Entertainment Tonight do not just report things like news they also do specials like for example tributes on Michael Jackson when he died and they talked a lot about him after his death. This type of media is very entertaining and full of knowledge on celebrities and we all like to know about what’s going and that’s why this show is so popular.

  19. My favorite media is Youtube.com. YouTube is a kind of website that shows you videos any kind of videos you want to see such as music videos, funny videos, and sad videos and so on. YouTube Is a very popular website they have any type of video you want to see. You can also sign up and be a member for free and you can post up your own video so that everyone can see it. Also many people get seen and noticed on YouTube such as Justin bieber.

  20. My favorite media is an anime (Japanese cartoon) that I watch online. It's called NARUTO Shippuden and it's basically about a young knuckel-head ninja whose considered an outcast because of a demon fox sealed inside him, trying to overcome people's ridicule and be the leader of the village.
    The best parts are when they show scenes of the main atagonists of the show because they sometimes have funny scenes that add humor to a tense situation. Most people acctually watch just the episodes with the bad guys in it cause they look cool. I still watch other anime like a dark comedy called Soul Eater, but I'm just catching up on NARUTO for a while cause they just released it in English.

    My favorite piece of media is the animated T.V. show called Family Guy. Family Guy is a cartoon sitcom about a regular family with a dad name Peter, a mom name Louis, their kids Chris, Meg, and Stewie, and a talking dog name Brian. The show is basically like a real life thing like us normal people go to school, eat dinner, and have good days and bad days like everyone else. This is basically what Family Guy is all about. Just a normal or somewhat normal family that is just trying to live life. The show is also a parody to American culture. It messes with the government, sometimes. Like how the dog, Brian, got busted for having weed on him and he is trying to legalize weed. Another example would be that the show makes fun of superstar’s appearances. Like in this one episode, they did a sketch on James Wood. Like how he stole Peter’s identity and Peter did the same thing. Peter made a quote to a late night show thing saying that he will be working on a movie with one of the people that James Wood hates, and it is about the 9/11 accident. In a bad way. Although, it is kind of funny, as long as the viewers are not actually doing the same thing as what the characters in Family Guy does.

  22. My favorite tv show ever is the show "Entourage" on HBO. It's a fictional show that follows the life of Hollywood superstar Vincent Chase and his group of best friends who live with him. My favorite character in the show is Vincent's agent Ari Gold, whom is played by the actor Jeremy Piven. Piven's character is hilarious in the show and very entertaining.
    My second favorite tv show is the show "Dexter" on Showtime. The show is about a forensic expert detective named Dexter. The thing about Dexter is that while his daytime job is to solve murders and crimes, he kills and murders criminals during the night.

  23. My favorite piece of media is a tv show called Fanboy and Chum Chum. It is a cartoon on Nickelodeon. It is about these two boys that run around in costumes and think their super heros. Their weird and crazy, they aren't so smart and cool as the other kids in their class but they don't really care. Fanboy is like the boss of Chum Chum but they are best friends. They like to go on adventures and have fun. My favorite eposide is when Fanboy gets bitten by a vampire and Chum Chum was to get bitten too so they can be immortal best friends but Chum Chum doesn't have a neck so they go to a doctor to give him a neck. Turns out that the doctor is the vampire that bit Fanboy. So in the end both of them are vampires. The show may seem stupid and immature but I think its funny and cool.
