Interpreting Media Messages

I think that any piece of media can have multiple meanings, or layers, if you will. For example, I could go and read an article about some major event that just happened. Then I could hand off that same article to Treyton or Tyler, and they might have a completely different thought on it.

So say I have been in a plane accident and survived(I haven't actually, but just bear with me), and Tyler has never been. Then if I go and read an article about a plane crashing and having very few survivors, I would have a connection to those poor people. Tyler might still feel horrible about the accident, but he might never know the true horrors of being in this situation.
