This makes the person totally uninformed as to what is taking place amongst the Hollywood scene members.

This person would also be unaware of what fame is like or life for a person who is considered to be a famous celebrity, such as Johnny Depp.
i can't tell you who is in that movie because I never watch movies , as I am media challenged.
Because I don't watch movies, I am media challenged, and therefore, I had no idea who Johnny Depp was.

legacy media

n. Primarily mature newspaper and television news outlets that believe they are the final word on any topic. These news organizations fail to acknowledge newly formed news sources and don't seem to understand that when they leave out information or emphasize the aspects of a story that aren't really helpful or pertinent, that they will be found out by those who understand the situation and have access to multiple news sources.

Typically these legacy news sources can identified as the major broadcast television networks and major national newspapers that have been in existence long before there was cable television.
The legacy media outlets were all abuzz as they reported six original documents critical of President Bush's national guard service and continued to report the documents as authentic even as they were proved to be fakes.
