In this space of hospitality, students of Communication Theory from different schools share their understanding of how the media can be too close, too far, and, in ideal moments, both close and far. In so doing, it is hoped that they contribute to the negation of a mediapolis of complicity and collusion and the fostering of a mediapolis of understanding.

PROPER DISTANCEThis collage depict proper distance because of the way they reveal facts not known to many which are present beneath the initial message that society gets from these pictures. Among these pictures are other truths about people and the nature of human beings.

TOO FAR
This group of pictures says that people that have a hard time speaking English are seen as a laughing stock of the nation. We disregarded the fact that they are also people who makes mistakes; and it just so happens that when we commit them, we aren't covered by the media.

TOO CLOSE
Amidst various predicaments, that the world is facing, the media's effort to showcase various artists, in this case Britney Spears, undermines what is really important. A case too close for comfort, they focus and center their attention to her resulting in the audience's emotional interpretation of this so called entertainment news.
