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)

  1. 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).
  2. What reasons do we have to call Buffalo Bill the “original world celebrity”?  Explain.
  3. How could Buffalo Bill have benefited from new media?  Who would have been some of his Facebook friends?
