Media in your Inbox

The media in your inbox. MoveOn.org is a 5-million member liberal public policy advocacy group that helped elect Barack Obama through mobilizing its members through emails. The MoveOn.org emails deliver information, inspire letter writing, fundraising, and local meetups. I am very curious how email delivered into one's inbox is a form of media. I scan my inbox and find emails from MoveOn.org, The New York Times, CBS News, Truthout.org, Barack Obama, Film Arts, Aunt Sally. With an amalgam of emails from various realms of everyday life I wonder: Is my inbox my new TV? Each email, a different channel? Hopefully I will understand this concept better as I learn the basic framework of this discipline. For now, I find it interesting to reconceptualize my inbox.
