Media consumption or media diet is the sum of information and entertainment media taken in by an individual or group. It includes activities such as interacting with new media, reading books and magazines, watching television and film, and listening to radio.[1] An active media consumer must have the capacity for skepticism, judgement, free thinking, questioning, and understanding.[2] Media consumption is to maximize the interests of consumers.
