Media Quiz
News, ads, and the channels that shape attention.
What you'll learn
Media is the system through which information, entertainment, and persuasion flow at scale. This quiz covers journalism, broadcasting history, advertising, propaganda, the economics of attention, platform dynamics, and the editorial decisions that shape what most of us see in any given day. Media literacy is one of the most useful skills of the 21st century.

How a round works
A round is ten multiple-choice questions. Pick a game mode: Endless (no timer), Sprint (60 seconds for the whole round), or Random (10 questions mixed across all subjects). Pick A, B, C, or D, or use your keyboard (1-4 or A-D, then Enter to advance). Every answer reveals a one-sentence fact you can take with you. At the end of a round you see your score, accuracy, best streak, a question-by-question breakdown, and a shareable result you can copy or post.
