This week’s topic is coherent with everything going on globally around the world, and it always will be. The idea of have media is sorted into its historical context interests me, how online presence meshes and fits into present time. An example of this is the ‘BLM’ movement. There is much controversy of over media’s support towards this movement, influencers being believed to use the movement online to self promote themselves, as well as companies and brands. An example of a company support the Black lives matter movement is H&M a popular clothing brand who donated $500K and quoted “let’s change”. Many people speculate whether it is self promotion when tis comes to these charitable brands, yet it is still up to debate. The subversion of media almost makes a meme like environment online, contradicting the flow of information online.

“Industrial work is set to the rhythm of the machine, while knowledge work is set to the flow of information” (Mitew 2012).
