Blog # 1
Hey all,
My name is Luke Solomon, and I’m a Media Communication Studies major with a minor in English. I would like to have a career in broadcast, particularly radio. This past summer I interned at CBS News radio in DC where I did production work for two nationally broadcasted shows, each show going out to over 400 radio stations. Currently, I am an intern at 98Rock – a
Being a MCS major, and wanting to have a career in radio, media is and will be a large part of my life. My view of the media is that the majority is bias, but sometimes it is ok because people like to have views that they can relate to, or they just can’t stand the opposing views position. I like being able to relate with my own group majority of the time, but it is impossible to understand everything without looking at both sides of the spectrum.
The Blog I have chosen to follow is the Drudge Report. This summer at my internship, I went to this site a lot to find current events and news for both shows I worked for.

Luke, you sound like you are immersed in media. Your blog caught my eye because I saw that you have an internship at 98 Rock and my friend Jess Deike works in promotions and I know she does a lot of work with the interns (I was actually thinking about interning there). But other than that similarity, I continued to read your blog and think about what you said about the majority being bias. I agree with that statement, but sometimes I don't think that the majority is right. I think, like you said, a person needs to take in a wide range of media and form their own opinion. I think that the majority of people in this country only watch a certain news station and then formulate their opinion based on what that news is saying.
Luke,
I agree with you about the media being bias and it is tough determine the truth from opinion. You are very involved with the media and I'm wondering, how do you keep yourself from being bias with the type of media work you do? The strength throughout your blog is that you are involved with the media and you know the value of having an audience. The fact that you have experienced the media first hand, shows a sense of truth behind what you are saying in your blog.
