I am a First year student studying Public Relations at the University of Ottawa, in Ottawa, Ontario. I am currently enrolled in Professor McCurdy's Theories of Media class. In the class, we are taught about the relationships between media and the society. We are also taught various media theories that we are slowly learning to interpret and apply in our everyday lives. One example of how we are using media theories this semester is through our Wikipedia Assignment. Professor McCurdy has given us the task of giving Wikipedia some 'spring cleaning'. We are to find a page (or start a new page) where we can execute finding credible sources and inputing our new found, correct, information into the specific page that we have done research on. Next, we are to apply various media theories into a reflection, which should include the relationship between Wikipedia and other issues that can effect the media and communication to a society.
