@zoezaafrani I think it depends on what product you are trying to sell, so you have to think about what would be beneficial to what you a few presenting to consumers and how it will be appealing for them #UWJ201 #316

It is alarming to me that algorithms are analyzing my internet usage to give to companies. Do you think there should be more restrictions on privacy and personal usage of the web? #UWJ201 #316

@NicolePerla3 It is hard to separate serious allegations and an extremely public career. If someone does not have good morals, they don’t deserve to be in the spotlight and have that power #UWJ201 #316

@hailey_dumont I think social media can be used for many great things, such as connecting people, creating communities, and sharing news, but it can also have really negative impacts on mental health if not utilized in the right way #UWJ201 #316

I was surprised to learn that social scientists are not as commonly utilized as engineered in social media design and platform testing. What other kinds of jobs might be useful to implement that would positively effect social media platforms? #UWJ201 #316

@mollietankenoff I believe that bias can be more dangerous in society, because if an outlet reports news that is incorrect when trying to be in support of something, it can be dangerous #uwj201 #316

@alex_anagno I think it grants more legitimacy to people instead of the firms, because it is the people’s voices that are being heard and used first hand, which is something that is allowed by the advancement of technology #uwj201 #316

Journalists often look to social media to reflect public opinion. It made me think how the people of the public also see other individuals’ posts, which in turn help create their own opinions. Can this interaction be positive, or does it limit individuality? #UWJ201 #316

@AnnabelBridges7 As people become more drawn to streaming services, I think companies will continue to expand and act on what the public wants because they know it will make them profit #uwj201 #316

@taraminor11 I honestly don’t know if there is a way to cease the divide. People have become so close minded to hear what others have to say, and it might be partially due to media bias #uwj201 #316

[Peri @Peri5915]

When talking about concentration of media ownership- fewer corporations controlling increasing amount of media- it made me think about how this limits the public’s perception and perspective on everything. What are ways to combat this? #UWJ201 #316

[Peri @Peri5915]

@PaytonBecker7 I find this very interesting and it makes me wonder what journalists might do if they did not have technology and social media to analyze their audience. It shows that technology is an extremely powerful source that drives society #UWJ201 #316

@carly_marsch This way that the media presents stories for profit is harmful to society’s progression. It can make people perceive reality in a skewed way, which could potentially be very harmful. #UWJ201 #316

[Peri @Peri5915]

The Washington Post article discusses the unfair treatment of women in media that still exists today. What are ways that people who work in the industry can lessen the gender gap and refute the persisting misogyny in society? #UWJ201 #316

[Peri @Peri5915]

@ally_wang4 I think the media has a habit of presenting all protests and issues in a way that will make for good television or a good story. It would be beneficial for everyone if they took time to explain the reasons and context behind protests #UWJ201 #316

[Peri @Peri5915]

@keiper_maggie I do think that increased technology access will decrease news deserts. With access to a device and internet, people are able to find any information they want, it’s just a matter if they are interested in doing so #UWJ201 #316

[Peri @Peri5915]

In the article that discusses problems with protest coverage, I learned ways that media could improve how they report protests in order to educate the public more. Are there other topics that media could change how they report in order to improve public perception? #UWJ201 #316

[Peri @Peri5915]

@Samuel02591095 I feel like there is a constant debate between parties about which sources are legitimate and which are not, but at the end of the day I think it just has to do with perspective #UWJ201 #316

[Peri @Peri5915]

@sophiefriedberg The way that influencers present themselves on social media can greatly affect their audience. When models post pictures of themselves and it might be edited to an u realistic body standard, this can make girls think that is what they are supposed to look like #uwj201 #316

In “The Cut” article, I found it very interesting that during Obama’s presidency there was a conformity around not being prejudiced, but with Trump there was a norm of xenophobia. Why are people’s actions in society so influenced by watching those in power? #uwj201 #316
