Due to her age (she is a teenager), and the fact that she is living in one of the major New Zealand cities, Oriwa will be reasonably involved with the media. Since Oriwa has been living in New Zealand her entire life, and hasn't travelled overseas, she will not be as involved in the media as people who have visited places around the world. I think Oriwa's major media involvements will be: Listening to music, watching television, and creating arts and crafts.
I think Oriwa will be interested in watching cartoons, when we have conversations she often discusses ‘Family Guy’ (a cartoon on Four). That is different to what I enjoy watching, I am more interested in cinema, and foreign film. If I had to watch a recent movie from Hollywood, it would be action or drama, instead of an animated feature. I think during the two weeks in which she will be keeping a media log, she will watch Family Guy on TV.
Oriwa may like travel related media; she told me she wanted to visit Asia. She also loves learning about cultural differences, so she may be watching ‘An Idiot Abroad’ (a travel show on TV). I also enjoy traveling, so I think she and I will have that in common.
A skill that she has is drawing, so she probably will have appreciation for art and craft. I think Oriwa will be more interested in painting and textiles, rather than designing, or anything to do with fashion. Because of this, she won't read any fashion related magazines either. However, I think she will read the weekend press. She is always very updated on the latest news and events in the world.
Oriwa loves to listen to folk music and indie, she doesn’t have an iPod and can’t play any instruments, so I think she listens to music on YouTube – it’s easy to access and free. If she accesses YouTube using the internet, I think she will also go on the web for MSN (chat service owned by Hotmail.com). She likes keeping up to date with friends, and some of her family members live overseas, and around New Zealand, so MSN will help her connect with them.
