A few weeks ago, I was required to participate in an peer interview to express why it television I chose as my blog topic. This following, which was written by fellow blogger
Lightbody, is the product...
For most of us, television is a big part of our everyday lives; it can relax us, inform us, entertain us or for some, provide an escape from the real world. For first year journalism student Caroline, T.V. is something she finds both intriguing and fascinating. During the interview, Caroline proceeded to share with me what it is about television that she finds so interesting.
I began the interview by asking Caroline what her area of expertise was. "I wouldn't really call it an area of expertise, but I chose television," is what she told me. The reason? Because she couldn't think of anything else, and because she enjoys watching T.V. Caroline admitted that she likes how television provides visual stimulation and enjoys watching "documentaries, anime and mysteries." When asked about documentaries, she said that she liked "learning about the history of past people and how they lived their lives, and also animal documentaries."
Caroline doesn't consider herself to be an expert, but she says that she is "knowledgeable in some fields." She confessed in recent times, it hadn't occupied much of her time as it did in the past. The next question I asked her concerned her opinion on how T.V. impacts peoples lives, if television can be seen negatively. Her response was that she "believes that T.V. can take over people's lives because they live vicariously through the people portrayed on T.V." I then took a different approach and asked Caroline if she had any connections to television in which she disclosed the fact that some of her family members were actors.
Before I finished our small interview, I asked Caroline the final question. I asked her if she would pursue a career in television where she then told me that she would "someday aspire to be on television involving aspects of journalism".
