The “Media Scholar Matchmaker” is an online quiz that enables interaction with scholars from the class in a new context, and the discovery of additional media thinkers. Inspired by McLuhan’s statement that “the content of another medium is always another medium,” and his “technique of discovery” through working backwards, I picked 4 media scholars and synthesized their work into answers for quiz questions. This project takes a symptomatic analysis drawn from Kracauer, where this lighthearted, surface-level personality quiz might just reveal deeper inclinations about one’s own views on media.
