Audio methods are used to present written text to people with vision impairments, videos to display to people with hearing difficulties. These individuals can use multimedia to their advantage in overcoming obstacles, which people with impairments didn’t have 25 years ago. For those who can see, but have poor vision, the elaborate styles and fonts may be changed or turned off in the browser and the screen may be used to magnify the content to appear larger (Tom, 2009).

I just completed an incredible book entitled Fist Stick Knife Gun: A Personal Histroy of Violence, written by Geoffrey Canada and illustrated by Jamar Nicholos in 2010. This book describes what life was like for Canada and his three brothers in the poverty stricken streets of the South Bronx's in the 1950's and 1960's. His father was an alcoholic and not a strong presence in his life, so in many ways he was raised by his mother and the streets of New York. Canada uses wonderful illustrations which kept me interested in his story. His illustrations lead me to believe the target audience he is trying to reach are teenagers, though I am sure it would be good for any age. Unlike the teachigns of martin Luther King, Canada's parents told them to
I checked out Fist Stick Knife Gun: A Personal history of Violence because I was intrigued to learn about the ahrsh reality that people faced and are still facing everyday. I was shocked by some of the things I read. I found myself constantly anticipating the next page. I also was intrigued by the hard facts that canada wrote about. 50,000 people is an average town in any State in America, yet he stated that approximately 50,000 American children were killed by guns between 1979 and 1991. He uses interesting figures such as this, mixed with his personal story to tell a remarkable story. It intorduced me to concepts I was not familiar with. Canada opened my eyes to the inter-city problems such as recreational drug use, hand gun sales and usage

Geoffrey Canada gives his readers a rare opportunity to look inside the life of a ghetto kid and what they have to go through just to survive. He also provides answers to the many questions asked of why certain things happen the way they do in the Bronx. He used his childhood experiences and turned them into a unique tool when helping the youth of today. Now that he works as a youth councilor he sees that the problem in the slums has gotten dramatically worse with the emergence of guns. It used to be about pride and status, now any thug with a gun can be feared in the community. This, to Canada is a major problem because guns gives kids a sense of power, a strong feeling that is often abused and results in someone, even an innocent person dead.

But new forms of mass media are on the rise, such as channels, blogs and podcasts, which have been around since the early 2000’s but are now picking up momentum and gaining prominence as a news source.
