@Peichen_Hou It showed in some states that it wasn’t effective. It doesn’t account for the social value vaccinations and why some individuals won’t. Money shouldnt be given because that’s people’s tax dollars and isn’t fair. More social support for vaccinations. #UWJ201 #321

@jayda_zhu I feel like a lot of the advertisements nowadays insert token race and the LGBTQ figures to sell products. It just feels so forced and lots of times the company only shows support when they get publicity. It feels very manipulative and should be worked on #UWJ201 #321

Considering how marketers use the understanding of the human psyche to market goods for profit, is it ethical for journalists to do so? If so, should they be regulated because it could serve as a conflict of interest? #UWJ201 #321

@GummellaRishi I think the younger generation may want y more substantial just as our generation wants shorter newsfeeds. They’ll want what they don’t have. This might go back and forth but with the total width widening. #UWJ201 #321

@eli_manheim I don’t think the concept of newspapers will ever go away. While print might go away, digital news websites might try to imitate newsprint because there still is an attraction there for the audience. I also think newspaper are gonna be around for a while. #UWJ201 #321

I had no idea the Arab spring had begun on Facebook but it seems connected to how the media was used to instigate the Jan 6 insurrection. Does that mean social media is not biased in which type of governments it supports but rather just an engine for instigation? #UWJ201 #321

@ClaudiaToonen1 I think people aren’t will to change their political standings because of pride and also the fear of being isolated from their groups. I also think that cancel culture has contributed to this fear and people not being able to say what they truly believe. #UWJ201 #321

@ly_kristy I think that there will always be people who aren’t willing to change their political standings. However, nowadays it feels like that is the majority so it does feel very threatening to American democracy. #UWJ201 #321

I was kind of confused about how expression was not related to polarization in Colombia in the guest lecture on Wednesday. What does it mean for there to be types of polarization? #UWJ201 #321

[Catherine Shih @ShihCatherine]

@noa_chamberlin This made me think of foreign interference in American politics. Since the first amendment doesn’t really extend to them, will the US take a more isolationist or maintain a international approach to globalized media? We could look at examples like China. #UWJ201 #321

[Catherine Shih @ShihCatherine]

@annamcgeough2 Yes and no. Yes because it’s hard to believe that ardent MAGA supporters would suddenly go mute but this can also be attributed to the fact that there were legal repercussions to the insurrections. Wouldn’t be surprised if they came back in couple of months. #UWJ201 #321

As pressure for regulation on social media grows, how does stray redefine a companies status as a non-publisher under section 203. If government regulation can influence social media companies, would that count as indirect limitation of free speech? #UWJ201 #321

@kartheiser_owen I agree. Though Trump had a lot of questionable tactics, his ability to garner the support of so many people who felt underrepresented speaks volumes to how media shapes US politics. I feel that his feud with the media does have a truth to it. #UWJ201 #321

[Catherine Shih @ShihCatherine]

@hannahhloughh This is gonna sound archaic, but local newspapers are pretty important to people’s knowledge of politics and what not, so I think it should be brought back. #UWJ201 #321

Regarding the spiral of silence theory, when does the need to express one’s opinion overcome the fear of being the minority. What type of factors cause that to happen? #UWJ201 #321

[Catherine Shih @ShihCatherine]

@BrianneCapper I think that the dire economic issues the media is dealing with pushes them to report to us what we want to here so that we go back for more. I don’t think they crave to split the US, but rather they crave to keep their audiences and the flow of cash. #JS201 #321

[Catherine Shih @ShihCatherine]

@Austin_Keller10 I would like to think that the media tries to stay neutral within reason and that the skew of the audience toward one side might make the news seem more preferential to one side than the other. #JS201 #321

When talking about the correlation between extremist views and media bubbles, do the extremist views come first or is it the other way around? #UWJ201 #321

[Catherine Shih @ShihCatherine]

@redhead6158 I feel that agenda-setting might be easier for smaller groups and harder for the masses because people will continue to isolate themselves on their own media enclaves. #UWJ201 #321

@katerouman Headlines and design definitely are thought out but on differently for different platforms. I think they get more “outrageous” the less reputable the source is just to attract attention while reputable sources of snippets of the article to attract readers. #UWJ201 #321
