@t8anderson99 I don't think it is invasive if the social media user is voluntarily typing their information into a social media app, but I do think it is invasive if the app is using voice activation or data from other apps in order to build these connections. #UWJ201 #310

@shroney02 I find the social proof principle of persuasion to be the most effective because it shows how "people like me" would use a product and how much they like it when using it. #UWJ201 #310

From the chapter 1 reading this week, what common type of advertising do you think is the most successful while having to spend the least amount of money? #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

I have found that when I am scrolling through my social media apps, I am more affected by the peripheral route that companies take when marketing their products. Has anyone experienced a strong central route of persuasion through social media? #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@hannahritvo1 I think companies should base their routes of persuasion on the media type where they are displaying their product. For example, the peripheral route of persuasion would be more effective on apps where people generally scroll quickly through information and ads. #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@amandamilleruw I think that at first the peripheral route will engage my interest in the product, but if it engages my interest to the point where I want to research it more, I will use the central route to further investigate the product before buying it or taking further action. #UWJ201 #310

@FenlonJudd I think that it is always essential that journalism of verification exists, but I tend to consume news that affirms my thoughts on political and social issues especially. #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@cassier0108 I think media consumers should always be fact checking their sources as well as reading sources from multiple perspectives in order to get the most correct general idea about the topic as a whole. #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

In the 3/22 lecture, Journalism of Verification and Journalism of Affirmation are both mentioned. In today's news I've seen more Journalism of Affirmation but do you think this will continue or will more accurate stories with no intent to please an audience arise? #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@MataylaB I usually search a current event that I hear of happening on the internet and get my information from a variety of news outlets. I think using a variety is necessary because it will decrease the impact of possible biases that may not be recognizable. #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@napricer I also think the news stories the Fox News puts out instills fear in people which will force them to keep reading the stories and gaining that information. This attributes to how people think because they are hearing the most extreme sides of news. #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

I was surprised to see the amount of ownership that Disney/21st Century Fox has in the media universe. How do you think the information that they put out affects the general public differently than other large ownership companies? #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@StellaKoondel I think that the most influential news that reaches us is tailored towards a certain audience and is most relevant to that audience. I also think news that is widely seen is interesting, yet accurate. #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@ecwalsh5 I think opinion sections are important, especially when multiple sides are shown to the reader so that they can get a better perspective for more than just the facts given. #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

From the reading "Mediated Democracy", do you think that the political stance of the journalist or the political stance of the professional source contribute to an article's bias more, or is it a mix of both depending on the journalist's political affiliation? #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@EllaHenley2 I think that there is a lack of credibility in social media news than there is in print news which will not change because people read social media in order to get entertainment and there are not enough fact checkers. #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@allisonlgardner Unfortunately, I think that political knowledge among media media users will continue to decrease because there is not enough fact checking in political social media posts. Many will continue to agree with the extreme posts that they encounter. #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

In the Wells reading for this week, I was surprised to see that the population in Madison read the local and national newspaper to obtain their news more than other areas in Wisconsin because the Madison population is considerably younger. Why do you think this is? #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@CaseyAugust2 #UWJ201 #310

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@CaseyAugust2 I agree with this statement. I think that certain news sources write political news especially in such a way that they want their audience to interpret it. For example, The New York Times is regarded as left leaning because of the information they choose to report. #UWJ201 #301

[Courtney Charchut @CourtneyCharch1]

@AbigailLeavins I think that people would definitely be happier without social media because they would be less concerned with what others are doing and compare themselves less. They would also be more focused with relevant information about topics relevant to them. #UWJ201 #301
