On Tuesday I learned about the big six companies. I had no idea they owned as much as they do. I knew almost all of what Disney owns but I did really bad with the others. It wasn't easy to decide where to put the companies but it was fun in the end to find out where everything belongs. I think the big six has a lot of control over the media because of their names. They have huge companies and most of the big six are the most popular ones so they are allowed to advertise. What really stood out was the names of all the companies. I have heard most of them. When I first looked I thought I had no clue but I really know them.
Yesterday I learned that companies all over want to know what is trendy to teens. Companies pay "cool hunters" to find the hottest trend with teens. This is a very easy way for companies all over to know what to improve or add to interest more people in their products. Media is a mirror of what they find people like. When something is hot and new, the media immediately starts advertising to bring more people in.
