Generation Like truly shows just how much digital marketing plays off of the needs for younger generations to gain likes, and to have a strong presence in social media. This is my last tweet of this series, thank you for listening. #JRN2335

Youtubers like Tyler Oakley are fully utilizing being sponsored. Young people no longer use the term ‘selling out’ which is what this would have been described as only a few years ago. #JRN2335

The goal of online marketing campaigns is to seem transparent, but in reality companies are using kids to even further their advertising. #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

Only a few years ago companies like this would not have existed, the need for likes has driven these businesses, like The Audience, to be as succesful as they are. #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

Companies are being created to play off of this need for likes. Ian Somerhalder from The Vampire Diaries has used one of these companies to increase his following and boost his social media image. #JRN2335

Young kids can earn substantial amounts of money based off of how many likes and subscribers they get. This is a new way of gaining money and has been made popular by ‘generation like’ #JRN2335

Youtubers are being sponsored by companies so that their products can be broadcasted to even larger audiences. #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

Youtubers are collaborating with eachother in order to broadcast themselves to even larger audiences, and to gain themselves even more followers. #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

Likes can be turned into actual currency by corporations, so this generation is encouraged even more to continue to spend time online liking and rebloggin. #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

Companies are realizing just how much of an influence media has on younger generations, and theyre changing the ways they advertise because of this. #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

“Likes, follows, and retweets are the social currency of this generation” so much has changed for the new ‘generation like’ and their social media personas are extremely important to how popular they are. #JRN2335

Tonight I will be livetweeting “Generation Like” from PBS Frontline. #JRN2335

Miss Representation shows just how much women are mistreated in the media, and how our society needs to change in order to support the growth of young girls. Women are more than just their looks. Thank you for listening to this live tweet session of Miss Representation #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

“If women don’t stand up for eachother then no one else will” says Lisa Ling, producer and host of Our America. This subject has been touched on multiple time throughout “Miss Representation” and seems to be a main theme. #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

NO policy changes have been made despite the countless meetings and hearings about censoring what can be shown in media. #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

Should we turn back to ‘family hours’ on tv; where no explicit content is allowed to be shown on television before 9pm? #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

More news time is being devoted to celebrities and not ‘actual’ news. People are viewing this as an outrage. Marketing is dictating our social norms and what appears on tv. #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

Advertisements, the push for capitalism, and the government have all had strong rolls in the repression of women. #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

Movies like The Devil Wears Prada show powerful women as cold hearted people who don’t care about family or friends, just their jobs. This negative light of powerful women shows a poor portrayal of women. #JRN2335

[Emma @Emmamedialit]

Hollywood shows the same stereotypes over and over again. What are young women soposed to believe when the only women they’re seeing in media are wanted solely for their appearances. #JRN2335
