Reception Analysis

Reception analysis shows how us as individuals in society perceive different types of media and what kind of meaning we give to certain media. Roman Jakobson which is a Russian linguistic analyst shows how the context of media is passed to the message which then is then interpreted by the sender and receiver which is then passed through a channel and then finally encoded. The old traditional analysis of reception states that the media influences false consciousness to make society accept the views and messages being conveyed. In today's modern analysis there is a two step flow system that engage certain individuals more and pay more attention to opinion leaders for example twitter. With this information people are more influenced now to perceive opinions and take various views inconsideration to process the information. 

With the way our society receives media, are we doing it this right way???
