what fundamentally attracts and/or interests someone to watch, read, or listen to some sort of media?

I can think of two reasons...\n1) The initial teaser (book cover, advertisement, sound byte, etc.) gives an unusual situation that the person would feel they could handle if given a chance. (They can empathize with the characters or the message)\n2) Challenges their intellect, their morality, their emotions, or their needs. (All of these things give the individual an emotional response to the media which makes the book, movie, etc., more memorable thus more likely to be followed-up on by watching, listening to, or buying the item.)\n\nSo to answer your question, Emotions motivate people to act. Any kind of emotions - excitement, anger, longing...(just look at what brings the voters out of the house - only scandals can do that.)

TV and Radio\n\nBoth use transmitter networks and satellite to transmit the media to the public so have a look at them and see if that helps

The best thing to do when learning about people's cultures in my great experience is simply to watch documentaries. Reading books is an easy way to do so as well. Variety counts, but the news broadcasts are always the bad news anyway.

there are tons of different types of media out there. You need to be more specific. ie pics, music, video....

great question! unfortunately i know only the things i really don´t want to do, e.g. scientist, economist, lawyer. I have a lot of different interest, like music, culture, sports, and the only concluding point i see is media studies. when i end media studies i can work in any sort of media, or just comment on the recent situation from the eyes of a journalist. something investigative without sitting in an office. this gives me a lot of opportunities meeting famous and interesting people, seeing and visiting new places. everything that interests me in one.

I'm not sure which would actually be the cause of the other.  Perhaps those who are more visually oriented are drawn to entertainments such as TV or movies, while those whose auditory abilities are keener are more drawn to music and communication.
