#J175 I found a native ad on a VacationIdea article called 20 Unique Packages in Hawaii for Couples & Families. The ad promotes Vacations To Go, a cruise agency. This native ad is ineffective because it is not clearly labeled as an ad and can make consumers feel deceived.
#J175 I listened to the NPR podcast Operation Earth: How To Be Cool To A Planet That's Hot. It covers content about Earth's climate change. This podcast is a must-see because climate change is damaging our environment and we need to be aware of this. https://t.co/AUUwChaP5M
#J175 DuckDuckGo is a huge advocate for users' rights online. They have made huge monetary donations to support this cause. In 2017 alone, they donated $300,000 to 16 nonprofits to address issues like privacy, civil liberties, and freedom of speech. https://t.co/mxPpWxAW38

#J175 This Chipotle ad showed up at https://t.co/FJtBS8ZHfy. It excludes individuals who wish to place a small order. A consequence is that people who wish to order food only for themselves will be unlikely to click the ad and order from Chipotle.
#J175 In Unit 1, Module A, I learned that one of the components of media fluency is leverage. This means finding and utilizing the most appropriate media considering the message we wish to convey, the desired outcome, and the intended audience.
Something I learned from the #J175 syllabus is that sarcasm usually doesn’t come across well online because the person reading the content cannot physically see you.
