[Media Studies & Communication: Week 15, 4th Period]

As the students walked in, they could see they each had a cupcake from Logan's handwavy early morning trip to J,GOB. There was coffee percolating and also eggnog for anyone who'd like to take part.

Logan looked up, midway through his own cupcake, and waved to the class as he swallowed his mouthful of pastry. "Hi, guys, and welcome to the last Media class for the term. This will be easy, since you've ideally done all your work before now, but if you haven't then you'll be challenged to come up with a really good excuse for why not.

"Turn in your signatures, and then I'm asking you write a brief paragraph on what you've learned from this class - or not, if you didn't learn anything. I won't be offended. After that, you're free to go. And thanks, sincerely, for being such a great class of students. I've enjoyed our time together quite a bit."

[OOC: Wait for OCD is up! And, like Logan, I've really enjoyed doing this class and I hope you guys have as well. :) Thank you so much!]

I have learned that if you want people to pay attention to what you're saying, you should make it look pretty and shiny, and preferably there should be something in it for your reader/watcher/whatever Jake wrote, and then went on to talk about propaganda in glowing terms.

I have learned all I need to know about the media. People will believe anything you tell them as long as you tell it to them in the right way.

The key purpose of the media is to have people hear and accept your message, no matter what it may be. The best way to do such as thing is to dress it up in the best way you possibly can, and present it to them as something desirable, using whichever method you feel is best for the situation at hand.
