Week 1 blog

My name is Aaron Boyle. Eventually I am going into law enforcement and I will be the best cop ever. I am taking the Crime in the Media class because it will help me to gain more perspective on the subject of crime which will only aid me in the future. I hope to gain perspective and insight and to learn about crime and it's relationship to the media.

I was pretty surprised at the results of my 5day media survey. I actually happened to be on an island for the weekend so that obviously limited my media intake quite a lot. However only considering the few days I had I was surprised how little media I got. I get a little bit of radio, pretty consistent internet, and a few movies. I never read the paper or watch any TV. The most I get is internet which is usually some everyday. There was also not much to do with crime. There was a bit about murder and drugs and cops in the one movie I watched in that time. Really the only other thing that had to do with crime was when I heard about a massacre in Norway on the radio and I then ended up looking it up on the internet.
