For CU Comm 3200: New Media and Society

[Anna Clemson @aac64_COMM3200]

Munro's comment on the departure from the fun voyeurism of the window into influencers' lives reminded me of the way taste in TV has changed as shows like Schitt's Creek redefined the type of lifestyle we wanted to see depicted on screen. #CUComm3200_26EH

The newness of digital content like TikTok has left holes for people like Ariadna Jacobs to exploit, this puts creators at risk of being taken advantage of. #CUComm3200_25EH

I think this was the wrong class number - sorry #CUComm3200_24EH

Social media has created a new types of relationships for people to manage and there is still a lot to learn about the formation and disintegration of those relationship #CuComm3200_23EH

It's interesting to look at sports fandom through the lens that Baym discusses music fandom. Unlike bands the faces of sports teams change so fans must grow attached to something other than players. I wonder how sports fandom has changed with the digital media. #CuComm3200_22EH

Social media already leads people to carefully curate what they post due to social pressures, surveillance adds a whole different dimension as people juggle a variety of audiences and future implications. #CUComm3200_21EH

At the moment media outlets are incentivized to spread misinformation and users are in part responsible, this seems to be a case where an intervention is required to alter those incentives. #CUComm3200_20EH

Can we learn from the issues we had with misinformation during COVID for future health crises (and other crises)? Will people wake up to the importance of access to good health care? #CUcomm3200_19EH

Content moderation needs some changes, staring at human depravity all day everyday is bound to make moderators lose their faith in humanity. We need a different solution to this issue. #CUcomm3200_18EH

I wonder if other social media companies will take after Zuckerberg's "Supreme Court of Facebook". It has potential, but also seems like it reinforces the idea that these tech companies govern our world. #CUcomm3200_17EH

I see where Gladwell is coming from in terms of strong versus weak ties, but based on what we read from Freelon and Papacharissi last week I wonder if he's dismissing the power of social media too quickly #CUcomm3200_16EH

For digital social movements to work, it is important to link your goals to a specific issue like police brutality, abstract topics struggle to gain a wide following #CUcomm3200_15EH

It seems like "signifyin'" could have a prominent place on TikTok because it affords creators the ability to deliver messages orally with nonverbal cues, unfortunately TikTok doesn't seem ready for it socially #CUcomm3200_12EH

The Aguera y Arcas article dissects this study that attempts to predict sexuality. Their results were purely correlational and they seemed to attribute the correlation to the wrong thing - if we can't properly analyze results, AI can be dangerous. #CUcomm3200_11EH

Jennifer's excitement about solutions journalism gives hope that news doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. It is a promising way to use the advanced communication methods we have to share solutions through stories about communities. #CUcomm3200_10EH

Just learned that my mom is about to cancel our print subscription to the Chicago Tribune, which will be one less subscription to a daily paper. I wonder if anyone will be getting any print papers ten years from now. #CUcomm3200_9EH

Silverman's article made me think about our discussion in class about how sports and weather articles can be written just as well be AI. What do we lose in media when there isn't a real human voice behind it? #CUcomm3200_8EH

Even when I make my own playlists on Spotify I usually curate songs from pre-made playlists, so I probably listen to "Spotify-core" music more than I realize #CUcomm3200_7EH

Social media shows links to historical uses of the web, how will our understanding of what the web is and how it works change in the next decade? Maybe it will be VR, but if it is, it seems likely that our uses for it will be different than what we expect today. #CUcomm3200_5EH

During the Nazi occupation the Dutch government-in-exile encouraged people to start diaries, which inspired Anne Frank. In light of Humphrey's article, I wonder if diaries from people who were writing beforehand read any differently than people who started then. #CUcomm3200_4EH
