Our group appreciated @patagonia for their recent climate philanthropy efforts. The insight a focus group could have is that positive outreach increases brand loyalty. #j202
Sophomore at UW-Madison Sophia Lee said the @SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will affect her voting in the upcoming election. She views women’s rights as a big thing and thinks support should go both ways. #j202#lab303
Junior at UW-Madison Mary Hegeman recently registered to vote and said the @SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will affect her voting in the upcoming election. #j202#lab303
@MarleyComito I wouldn’t remove the fyp of TikTok because I think that is one of the main attractions of that site. However, other social media platforms may benefit from removing features like those TikTok has as they were not built with tracking in mind while I think TikTok was. #UWJ201 #305
@GavinLuebke28 As algorithms show me and tell me what I want to see and hear, I like that advertising companies care enough about money to want to show me things I like. However I miss out on so many perspectives by constant exposure to ideas I agree with. #UWJ201 #305
Wondering what information has been collected and how that information has been used to make assumptions about me since I started tweeting for #UWJ201. #305
@eksalzwedel I don’t think we should rely on public opinion to determine that. People have a wide range of opinions and relying on them would cause dissent. There should be a Supreme Court decision reevaluating the Clear and Present Danger Test in terms of social media. #UWJ201 #305
@sofia_luchetti From a journalistic perspective, I think the ruling was fair as the 1st amendment protects the government from restricting free speech. While their speech is very hurtful, the government would be overstepping if they banned it. #UWJ201 #305
Today, we learned how in order to prove libel there must be false defamatory content, an individual or organization whose reputation was injured, and actual malice from journalists. Are there any cases you know of where the court should have ruled libel and didn’t? #UWJ201 #305
In Scott Dikkers lecture, he compared The Onion’s comedy to The Simpsons comedy where The Simpsons represents the fallacies of humanity, and The Onion represents the fallacies of the media. Do you agree with this comparison? #UWJ201 #305
@MadisonHaering While I might like to blame the media’s techniques of framing and agenda setting for the “pandemic” of ignorance, I think it is mostly a product of a lack of critical thinking. #UWJ201 #305
@r_buckner12 I think this relates to all forms of media, including comedic, as the goal of media should be to give information to people who can help better the world. Since most media is controlled by those in power, I don’t think they all share this goal. #UWJ201 #305
@larissaaa073 Encouraging those who live in urban areas to diversify their talk networks would harm those running for office in those regions as they operate on the assumption of previous evidence that their voters are not as influenced by those networks as voters in other areas. #UWJ201 #305
@JohnnyMitchel3 Children should be taught about filter bubbles so that they can be aware of the way in which media might contribute to stark partisanship. Even if this doesn’t stop extreme partisan beliefs, at least they would know why it might exist. #UWJ201 #305
In class, we talked about how politics of resentment can pit people from different regions against each other. Does this have anything to do with the get to know you question: do you like the city or the country? If not, maybe beach vs. mountains had that effect? #UWJ201 #305
@BenTeich3 I was influenced by the hostile media effect when I was looking into why groups are not getting vaccinated even though vaccinations are not typically against their principle beliefs. Some articles politicized an issue that should be seen as a public health issue. #UWJ201 #305
@whomstisnat Journalists can use more moderate language to appeal to both sides, therefore, lessening hostility and potentially expanding their audience. #UWJ201 #305 #5
We talked about how some people believe the louder they are about an issue the more it will be on peoples’ minds (aka working the ref). To me, it gets people thinking about the issue more negatively than they might desire hindering progress, what do you think? #UWJ201 #305 #5
