About Peyton
Peyton LeDrew
I am a student at ASU pursuing a bachelors in Astronomical and Planetary Sciences, and a minor in Media Content Creation. This is my blog for MCO 426 Media Literacy II where I will be sharing my assignments. Truth be told, I unfortunately lost all data from my Media Lit I blog, so we are starting from scratch!
Understanding Media Literacy is integral to my goals. I aim to become a science communicator (primarily focused on cosmology) and using many forms of internet mediums is critical in this day and age. For now, I have been working on many solo projects as hobbies such as running a YouTube channel, building websites, and other various programming projects. Many of which go hand in hand with each other. I also have been studying the art of story telling, and the YouTube algorithm to better communicate and hold peoples attention which is important for explaining confusing and hard to grasp concepts.
I am steadily approaching the end of my bachelors which I am on track for in the spring of 2026! I have grown a YouTube channel to 3000 subscribers currently (and have earned just about 2k in about 3 months actually) so I must be doing something right! During Media Lit I we learned many aspects of how we interact with the internet, its influence on us, how dependent we are on it, and the many ways platforms are taking endless amounts of data about us and our personal lives. I hope to learn more about how we utilize the internet and the many mediums it has to effectively share information and grow a following of like minded individuals with the same passion for knowledge and the pursuit of changing the world for the better.
Here is a few projects of mine from previous courses:
