Homework- Media Appreciation #2: Buffolo Bill

This is the second in a series of "Media appreciation" assignments. This is based on a documentary done about Buffolo Bill- (link here- but to see the whole thing you'll have to become a member of Veoh Video)
  • Give at least 3 examples (with details) where the lines between reality (history) and entertainment (media) became blurred during the life of William Cody (AKA Buffalo Bill).  
  • What reasons do we have to call Buffalo Bill the “original world celebrity”? Explain.
  • How could Buffalo Bill have benefited from new media? Who would have been some of his Facebook friends?
