met·a
noun
/ˈmedə/ /ˈmēdēə/
referring to itself or to the conventions of its genre; self-referential.
In a world where the term 'media' refers to just about anything, you've found yourself here, consuming yourself a little media-- about media itself (how meta) ! So behold the project I've coined META-MEDIA- that documents the (abbreviated) history of media, and how humans have been consuming their news throughout the years.
Dive in and explore the timeline that takes you through major milstones in human history that have impacted the way information is disseminated publicly, and how it's been rooted in the human experience since the 14th century. Our journey begins with Gutenberg's printing press which ultimately enabled print journalism, and ends in a funny place we call 'social media' (what's that?). I humbly present this little self-aware interactive media project.
