You are required to challenge yourself to find an alternative voice and its channel or medium and consume it consciously. Your assignment is then to answer the following questions thoughtfully with self-reflexivity in about 250-500 words, Arial 12, single space.
1) Identify the voice/channel you have chosen to be exposed to and to seek.
2) How did you make this choice? According to what criteria? For example, did you choose it because it is related to your heritage or interests? because of language? because of images? because of other exposures in the mainstream media? because you know nothing about it? In short, how did you identify (or not) with it?
3)How do you assess your experience? what did you find interesting? what would have made your exposure more engaging?
4) What stories or contexts and backgrounds did you learn about this voice and its community? was it through research or just exposure to content?
