In our world of fast paced media outlets, many online news outlets and tabloids have it all wrong. In our generation, we learn immediacy trumps content. Social media creates this problem for our generation.
In the past, immediacy wasn’t even a concern for media producers. People focused on the message they were trying to convey instead off how many likes and exposure their story was going to get.
In the world we live in now, immediacy has seemed to have taken over, but they’re is still hope. Although they’re is still a lot of sub – par media out there, you still have the chance to be different from the rest by focusing on content instead of likeability.
Yes, it is exciting when you get a lot of likes on a blog post, but true inspiring media takes effort and time to create.
You don’t want to be a trend, you want to be respected and taken seriously in this media driven world.
Don’t follow the trends and gossip, write about what inspires and motivates you, and people will surely start to follow your vision.
“Commodity culture emphasizes personal expression, freedom, upward social mobility, escape from constraints, and enabling new possibilities.”
Be an inspiration instead of a trending topic.
