        My name is Wyatt Cook and I am a Junior at the University of Maryland. However, this is not my first college I have attended. I previously attended Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. I am on the football team here at Maryland, as was I on Purdue's team as well. Maryland is my home state and I am glad to be representing my state on the field and in the classroom. I am an economics major, but I chose this class because I have always been interested in media. Not only is it a big part of football, but it is also a big part of my life. We use media every day as a football team whether it is watching film, being filmed, watching hype videos, etc. Also, everyday as individuals we use media as well.

        I expect to learn a great deal from this class. As a 21 year old I have been involved with media for a while in the sense that social media began to catch on in my early teens. Social media is beginning to take over all other forms of media. A majority of people get their news from social media, just because it is so up to date to the second. It is becoming even faster than television because all it takes is a few clicks on a phone and then it is out for the world to see. 

       

        I have watched many different genres of movies, films, education short films, interviews, etc. I have been interviewed plenty of times (usually for sports) and I am interested to understand how interviews form their articles and stories. Obviously, every single quote is not used but I am interested to learn about the criteria of a story/article, regardless of quotes.
