2. why are so many people critical of advertising? a lot of people are critical of advertising because they dont like people pushing them to buy something. but advertising can be a good thing it helps the companies products get their name out there but some people dont like they way companies advertise. i think advertising is can be a really great thing for a company.
4. should advertising aimed at childern be regulated? i personally do not think it should. i think its good that they have advertising for little kids unregulated. it makes kids happy to see new toys out and the companies that do not regulate make so much money. i think advertising for little kids should stay the way it is, it makes kids happy and it helps companies have more sucess.
7. is advertising at odds with the idea of democracy why or why not?
i really do not think it is. i feel like advertsing does not affect democracy. i feel like adverstsing helps out businesses and it can be a little forward and some people do not like it but i think it is a good thing. i probably would not buy half the stuff i did without advertsing and i love more stuff i buy. for me advertsing helps me see the new things coming out and would be lost with out.

chapter ten
6. would you read a book on an ipod or a kindle? why or why not? i do not think i would read a book on an ipod or kindle for many reasons. one reason is that im more of a visual person and i need to hold the book and it read it. also i am not a big fan of "touch screen" so i think it would a lot more difficult than it should be. i love the traditional book and i love buying new books, i could just never see myself using and ipod or a kindle to read my books.
1. what are the earliest recollections of books? do you read for pleaseure? if yes, what kinds of books do you enjoy? why?
i do like reading for pleasure i read all kinds of book, form girly to fun to even harry potter. i like these books one becasue more make you keep reading, they keep me interseaded. i also love books in series. i love to keep reading about it like harry potter, it was sad to see it end but i loved reading all of them as they came out.
2. what can the book industry do better to ensure that we are not overwhelmed by a visual and electronic culture? i really dont think the book industry has to do much. because everyone i talk to loves the classic book. they love going to barns and nobles and getting coffee and sitting in a comfortable chair and reading a nice book. i really would not worry because people love the book more than the new electronic stuff they are coming out with.

Chapter Nine
1. What are your earliest recollections of magazines? which magazines do you read regularly? my earliest recollections were teen magazines like "seventeen" "J-14" pre teen magazines. me and my friends use to read those kinds of magazines and thinking we were so cool. the only celebrities in those were in disnesy channel. the magazine i read most regularly is probably "cosmo" i would have to say its one of my favorite magazines to read. i like it becasue it has great ads and it also tells a story of someone famous every month, and beacuse its girly.
7. do you think the internet will eventually displace magazines? why or why not? I think there is a chance they could. everything is becoming interent based now. also i have heard many people say that magazines are getting expensive to buy so some might resort to the internet since the internet is free. I think if this were to happen it would be a while from now, but i think there is a very good chance people will start using the internet to replace magazines.
4. if you were the marketing director of your favorite magazine, how would you increase circulation? one thing i would try and do which might not be possible but i would try and produce it every two weeks instead of every month. i feel like you would make a lot more money and custmers would be happier, but like i sad i'm sure if that would be possible since i know it takes time to produce a magazine. but i think thats the one thing i would change to help circulation. i think this would increase circulation since a lot girls wait every month for there favorite magazine.

Chapter Eight
3. Discuss wheather newspaper chains are ultimatley good or bad for the future of journalism? I think newspaper chains are good for the future of journalism, it gives competition and it gives more varity. I can't really see it being a bad thing.
5. Will blogs and other internet news services eventually replace newsplace newspapers? I think they could eventually since we are becoming more advanced. But i can't see it totally replacing the newspaper since of the older generation doesnt know everything about blogs.
2. Why do you think people aren't reading U.S daily newspapers as frequently as they once did? I think its because everybody is finding out news on the internet, like twitter and facebook, and blogs. the internet is getting information faster than the newspaper these day so everyone reads online.
