Now that I have been able to log in, my interests center around how the populations of people in Appalachia use media.  This has profound implications because it indicates how organizations can communicate with populations within Appalachia, both from within and outside the Appalachia communities.  This communication can deal with vital information on health, safety, jobs, etc., or more basic information such as news and advertising.  So what media do people in Appalachia use and what media technology have they adopted or have shunned is the research I am looking into.
