Well, we've now looked at the sources of media, and how bias, purpose and intended audience can affect how messages are portrayed, and how personal experience changes the way that we receive and interpret those messages.
I still think that we can use popular culture within the classroom, if it fits within the guidelines issued to teachers. I wouldn't show the articles, photos, clips, etc. if I haven't seen them first. This is just like when we were choosing videos to show and were asked to preview them before using them. Using media allows us to have a discussion about questioning media and the reasons that things are presented in a certain way.
