Hi Reddit,
I’m currently studying for my first media & communications final and I’m having trouble with Marshall McLuhan’s theory about “the medium is the message”. I understand that it’s more about the choice of medium rather than what the message is saying, but in what way? I’ve tried googling and watching videos, but I still don’t quite understand it.
Can anyone help me?

I think the question is already answered in other comments but for some unsolicited school advice, this is a valid question to bring to your professor at office hours – and ones similar to it.
I often felt in my school days like I could “figure it out” on my own and often did fine. But it’s helpful to have your professor walk through it. It’s helpful for your professor to have feedback on how things were understood from their lessons.
And most importantly, if you ever want to go to grad school or apply to certain programmes, fellowships, scholarships even, it’s important to have a professor’s recommendation and that’s made way easier and stronger with a professor you have a good relationship with that knows you more than just your grade and submitted work. And a lot of that is built up by showing up to office hours and asking questions.
