=( Can you just copy + paste the questions? I find most people would rather just post responses in reply instead of open a new document. You'll probably get more responses that way.

Suburb: Inner-west
Religion: Atheist
Ethnic Background: Asian
1. Where do you normally look for news? Sydney Morning Herald's delivered to my house daily. MX every school day, but it's trash.
2. What is your main source of news? SMH.
3. Which source of media do you believe is most reliable when it comes to news? Non-tabloid Newspapers, Broadsheets like SMH.
4. Rate the importance you place on the stories that usually get the headlines (1 being of the least importance and 10 being of the most):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
5. a) How do you rate the importance of sporting stories? 3
b) How do you rate the importance of entertainment stories? 5
c) How do you rate the importance of human interest stories? 3
d) How do you rate the importance of political stories? 6
e) How do you rate the importance of world news stories? 8
f) How do you rate the importance of crime stories? 6
6. a) What type of stories do you believe deserve to be the front page news stories? Obviously the ones that I'm interested in, or "major" things that should concern everyone. But of course, the newspapers would disagree and that's why they put the ones that they think would appeal to the general public. Definately not something about TV networks "boning" people or losing Current Affairs reporters in Africa.
b) Why? Because sometimes I only have time to read the first page before setting off to school.
7. Do you believe the news stories that get most coverage are an adequate representation of what you care about?(explain)
Nah. Sometimes it's just boring. Sometimes it's just mindless ACA-esque drivel.
8. a) What influence do you think the media has on what IS important to you? Quite a lot, the media influences everyone to some extent.
b) Why do you think this would be the case? Pretty pictures attract me. (Actually I don't know)
9. a) What influence do you think the media has on what IS important to society? HEAPS OF INFLUENCE. Main source of information about the wider world, so obviously.
b) Why do you think this would be the case? Main source of info.
10. How do you feel about the influence media has on society? Sometimes I think that certain types of media can influence society negatively. It can make people prejudiced and close-minded. It's said that if a lie is repeated often enough, and appeals to people's emotions/fears/hopes, then eventually people will believe the lie. The media has the capacity to persuade society to believe things and think things that are discriminatory or wrong. But that's just my opinion.

Occupation: Student, I suppose.
Age: Younger than most my age ... group.
Gender: Undisclosed.
Suburb: Also undisclosed.
Religion: Religion is a fallacy; undisclosed/none/light atheist.
Ethnic Background: Middle-east... wait, I mean East Asia, Oriental. Uh, better answer: Undisclosed. In the grand scheme of things, it really should not matter.
Europe. North America.
1. Where do you normally look for news?
CNN, BBC, Wikipedia, Dialy Telegraph, SMH.
Some other liberal, or liberal-owned media; often, I turn to foreign media *I <3 NY (maybe not)*.
Admittedly, I do, on occassion, pick up the odd MX, only to dispose of it within a span of a minute or so.
2. What is your main source of news? CNN, BBC, scholarly informants' blogs, Wikipedia, Dialy Telegraph, SMH.
3. Which source of media do you believe is most reliable when it comes to news? Non-sensationalised newspapers that do not run solely to fleece readers out of a hard-earned dollar. Media that has little to no point of view and deliberate bias.
Tangent: It'd be better if media were objective, even politically apathetic OR (they are hardly the same thing) impartial media, but that's not going to happen anytime soon.
4. Rate the importance you place on the stories that usually get the headlines (1 being of the least importance and 10 being of the most):
1 2 3 4 5 [6 7 8] 9 10
Thereabouts.
5. a) How do you rate the importance of sporting stories? -2749256.
b) How do you rate the importance of entertainment stories? 4.
c) How do you rate the importance of human interest stories? 4.
d) How do you rate the importance of political stories? 7.
e) How do you rate the importance of world news stories? 7/8. (The score for this would invariably deviate for the particular matter.)
f) How do you rate the importance of crime stories? 5/6.
6. a) What type of stories do you believe deserve to be the front page news stories?
Well, non-frivilous stories that interest readers, of course.
Ah, I'm/I'd be pretty much quoting PrettyVacant for all.
-.-'
b) Why?
Okay, why? Well, does it really have to be explained? The frontpage is used to attract the attention of the reader, which ultimately defines how much a media group will earn.
7. Do you believe the news stories that get most coverage are an adequate representation of what you care about?(explain)
No, hardly. If I wanted to read hokum, I'd prefer to be riveted by German/British war propaganda.
Now, as I said, matters about Steve Irwin, Peter Brock, Eddie McGuire (being a dick), etc. do not elicit anything but a elegiac sigh - what the hell has media become?
Anyhoo, if actual news, I'd say adequate, but if stuff like SMH, or The Telegraph, no. Care to explain? Yes, but I'd be letting my political stance and opinions seep into the explanation, thus, it'd be better off as a "nay".
8. a) What influence do you think the media has on what IS important to you?
Hrm, I could write out a thesis on this, given the time, and oft-unexhibited effort.
I'll just quote the learned PrettyVacant, whom I shall now begin to worship, or something like that.
"Quite a lot, the media influences everyone to some extent."
b) Why do you think this would be the case?
Again, same response.
"Pretty pictures attract me. (Actually I don't know)"
Hey, what the heck?
Well, being human, we seek enlightenment and keeping up-to-date; we buy papers and/or subscribe. [Jaded remark: Ergo, we are scammed of our money.]
9. a) What influence do you think the media has on what IS important to society? Well, media is the mass propagation of certain ideas and information, if one is actually bold enough to use such a term so haphazardly; it's important to society in its right to inform the public with matters.
It has heaps of influence, as evident by means of election polls, etc.
b) Why do you think this would be the case?
I'd like to say, but I'm not sort of busy with pages on end of work.
10. How do you feel about the influence media has on society?
Hold on, please.
I'll be sure to find my response somewhere.

Ethnic Background: Don't know. =/ My granddad came from Scotland, if that helps at all...
1. Where do you normally look for news? Everywhere, depending on what news I want to find. There's the E! and Biography channels for when I want my mindless movie dribble; Today Tonight for when I need a good laugh, The 7:30 Report and CNN when I actually want to know things. As far as print media goes, I read both SMH and DT, though obviously I don't hold them both in the same regard.
2. What is your main source of news? Um...CNN or SMH.
3. Which source of media do you believe is most reliable when it comes to news? I have yet to find a source of media that I can accurately call "reliable". But for the sake of answering this question, I'll say SMH.
4. Rate the importance you place on the stories that usually get the headlines (1 being of the least importance and 10 being of the most):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
5. a) How do you rate the importance of sporting stories? 3
b) How do you rate the importance of entertainment stories? 5
c) How do you rate the importance of human interest stories? 5
d) How do you rate the importance of political stories? 8
e) How do you rate the importance of world news stories? 9
f) How do you rate the importance of crime stories? 8
6. a) What type of stories do you believe deserve to be the front page news stories? Stories that are going to grab the reader's attention. The more controversial topics should definitely be headlined, that way you know there's a public interest in the topic and you're likely to attract both sides of the argument.
b) Why? I just answered this. =(
7. Do you believe the news stories that get most coverage are an adequate representation of what you care about?(explain)
Well, sometimes. To be honest, I'm more interested in crime and overseas politics, like how much Bush is fucking up the world, than the upcoming election. But I know that's because I'm the kind of person who wants to travel the world and has a genuine interest in the world around us. I think at times that we're living in a bubble, thanks to the stories the media chooses to tell us.
8. a) What influence do you think the media has on what IS important to you? Quite a lot. I can't say I agree with everything I read and all of the reporters' stances, but I still love reading the varying opinions as it makes me more critical and aware of what's going on. Media also keeps me up-to-date with things in the first place, so you could say that's a huge influence on its own. Without media, where would we get the information on what's going on in the world? In Canberra? In our fucking local shire?
b) Why do you think this would be the case? I think I answered this...? I don't know.
9. a) What influence do you think the media has on what IS important to society? A lot. For all the reasons I mentioned above.
b) Why do you think this would be the case? FOR ALL THE REASONS I MENTIONED ABOVE.
10. How do you feel about the influence media has on society? It can influence society positively or negatively, and that's all depending on the person who is exposed to it. Media doesn't make people close-minded, or unable to form their own opinion. It just brings those qualities in people to the surface. It can be used to challenge people on the issues and events that make up our world today, to bring awareness to those who might not know better. But in order to do that, people need to be able to have an open mind and an ability to grasp the idea that not everything is black and white. If they can't do that, then it's a reflection on the individual and NOT the media source. I think that's one huge misconception found today.

1. Where do you normally look for news? Everywhere, depending on what news I want to find. There's the E! and Biography channels for when I want my mindless movie dribble; Today Tonight for when I need a good laugh, The 7:30 Report and CNN when I actually want to know things. As far as print media goes, I read both SMH and DT, though obviously I don't hold them both in the same regard.
2. What is your main source of news? Um...CNN or SMH.
3. Which source of media do you believe is most reliable when it comes to news? I have yet to find a source of media that I can accurately call "reliable". But for the sake of answering this question, I'll say SMH.

Which source of media do you believe is most reliable when it comes to news? they are all unreliable, they all have bias even if its unintentional. but non tabloid newspapers, and news on sbs.

d) How do you rate the importance of political stories? 7 (but they're always biased)
e) How do you rate the importance of world news stories? 9
f) How do you rate the importance of crime stories? 5 (they're just a tool to keep us all afraid)
6. a) What type of stories do you believe deserve to be the front page news stories? world news. or politics. not the garbage they put on the front page now.b) Why? they're the ones that actually mean something, and actually have an affect on our lives rather than just being the controversial story that will attract people to buy the newspaper. and they are most likely to have some truth in them.7. Do you believe the news stories that get most coverage are an adequate representation of what you care about?(explain) sometimes. like september 11 and those kind of things that deserved a lot of coverage and got it, but then again we just got the exact same thing over and over in that coverage and it was all pretty bias views and once again just trying to spin it so that it creates fear, so that we're all afraid, because if we're afraid they can control us. but most of the time its just that current affairs style 'this is a human interest or entertainment story but really its just mindless drivel to fill in space because we've got nothing' which obviously, no i don't care about.

5. If you could solve one issue which directly affects you, or will directly affect you in the near future, which would it be? terrorism, i'm not keen on being blown up.
6. Why do you think some people may give up on trying to solve global issues such as global warming, poverty, etc?
because people think its not affecting them personally here and now, so why should they care. also laziness.
7. Would you say that you are mainly focused on the daily events in your life as opposed to global issues which have been occurring for many years? Why do you think this may be the case?
yes i am more focused on the daily events in my life, because they are personally and immediately affecting me, and i can make a difference to them much more easily.
8. Name three global issues you feel most affected by. How do they make you feel?
they more affect the world as a whole but governance. the legal and political systems of the world are wrong, unjust and unstable, and this makes me angry, the cost of health care and the lack of medical care at all in other countries. its horrifying to me to think that other people around the world die from the tiniest illnesses that we just think nothing of because we go get some antibiotics and we're fine. and conflict, like terrorism and war, which make me both deeply afraid, and incredibly angry,

they more affect the world as a whole but governance. the legal and political systems of the world are wrong, unjust and unstable, and this makes me angry, the cost of health care and the lack of medical care at all in other countries. its horrifying to me to think that other people around the world die from the tiniest illnesses that we just think nothing of because we go get some antibiotics and we're fine. and conflict, like terrorism and war, which make me both deeply afraid, and incredibly angry,
