What do you think the best way to fund programs like CHESS and other health communication programs is? #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

@HeissGloria I don't know if there's a difference, but I bet that ad was on during some kind of male-oriented programming. #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

@GabijaRonaldo People in discussion mentioned Instagram ads more than any other source, so I think these ads are not only prolific but effective. #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

Do you believe that the mining and selling of consumer data by companies like Rubicon is an invasion of your privacy? Why or why not? #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

@Jakelrome I see no problem. So what if some random company can see things I have searched for in the past month? It's not like any human being sees that information, nor cares about it. #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

@_AMELIAHOLLAND I think that we benefit overall. I would rather see ads tailored to things I am interested in that completely random things. #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

@KorolTatum I think as long as the information is not blatantly false it is probably fine. Unless it's like the Onion or something, which is known as a satirical commentary, not a real news source. #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

@YinzhuH Interesting. I think that there is probably an underlying cause of the shortening of our attention spans, but shorter news clips probably aren't helping. #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

What steps in the design process do you think social media companies like Facebook should take to better address the social implications of their platform? #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

Do you think it is possible to have a media environment with no fact checkers, or are they a more integral, necessary part of the media? #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

@BSheres @ATveleneva I think social media provides a means for more "everyday" people to become more influential, and thus acquire more coverage in the media. If this is a good thing or not is another question, but I think there is more opportunity now. #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

@emzzzblunt I think that they, among other things, are both causes of polarization. Negative coverage likely causes more negative emotions, and thus a more hostile attitude. #UWJ201 @ATveleneva

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

I am bothered by the definition of truth given in class. Isn't truth, by definition, unchanging? Why does what somebody thinks about something affect whether it is true or not? @ATveleneva #UWJ201

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

@HandoLauren @sooyunkim_ I think people don't really understand that "fair" and "equal" are not the same thing. In the climate change example, a "fair" panel would include 99 scientists for vs 1 scientist against. This is fair, but not equal. @ATveleneva #UWJ201

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

@NathanEvers10 @ATveleneva I think that it is fine, so long as people are aware and skeptical of where they obtain their news from.@ATveleneva

Do you think the spread of entertainment news is harmful, or is it good that people are getting news at all, even if it is somewhat lower quality? #uwj201

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

@amandajschwabe I think ideally people would recognize entertainment media as such, and put as much trust in it as it should get as entertainment media. @ATveleneva #UWJ201

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

@dirkse_13 I think that journalists should report the truth, and in my opinion that trumps issues of fairness. @ATveleneva #UWJ201

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

Social media was the least used pathway to local news.I think that social media is used as a news source far more often than radio, but people do not want to admit that they get their news from social media because there is a stigma about it. Thoughts? #uwj201 @ATveleneva

[Zachary Hebeisen-Verdoorn @ZVerdoorn]

@mdonnelly32 As professor Wagner said in class, in-person conversation will not die, however polarization could very well increase due to other elements affecting the political climate. #uwj201 @ATveleneva
