One of the things that I’ve learned so far is about the role of product managers. I found this interesting because it showed us a real world job that we can partake in. A product manager brings people together, they don’t necessarily boss people around. It would be eye opening to be taught about other specific jobs in the field. I feel like there’s so many different job opportunities for those who are in media studies; being able to see what viable jobs are out there would be beneficial.

Another thing that I found interesting was the digital media and the long tail section. It seems like the times are changing and the media control is not centered solely on television. The market has expanded to those who are producers of digital media. These new platforms that enter the market allow for others to compete in the market. As learned from economics, competition leads to innovation. If companies keep competing for viewership and ratings, us as an audience can not only expect better content, but we can also expect a new distribution of media power.
