@MeganBarbGordon @sofdlv I agree that it makes the ads seem more personal, and if the ad is being posted by the celebrity on their TikTok account, it might also make it seem more relatable, just like any other TikTok anyone could post. #UWJ201 #311

@MeganBarbGordon We learned that PR can't control how people will respond, so either trying to cover it up or coming clean could both have negative outcomes. #UWJ201 #311

@RifkinHannah I would think the peripheral path would be more effective on mobile, since people are more easily distracted on their phones and would most likely just be seeing the ad on an app and not paying deep attention to it. #UWJ201 #311

@jennaaschwarz I don't think advertising would sway people's opinions on vaccines. Most people who refuse to get vaccines are very set in their opinion and if the information already out there about vaccines won't persuade them, advertising most likely would not either. #UWJ201 #311

@GummellaRishi The shift from TV to online news will lead to society being less educated about global news. People will only see what they are interested in, what is personally relevant to them, or local news that is getting a lot of attention. #UWJ201 #311

@beccaspitalnik Our feeds would be different, we might have to search for things we're interested in rather than it just showing up. Users would spend less time on the app because it would take more effort to find something interesting to look at, so companies would make less money. #UWJ201 #311

[Ella Gorodetzky @ella_goro]

@NicoleCederberg That is an interesting point. Did we only hear about the deplatforming after the insurrection because it involved the president? How often to companies deplatform users that don't make it into the news? #UWJ201 #311

@jasperlindseyy From a first amendment standpoint, I don't think it restricts free speech because it's coming from a privately owned company, not the government. However, it does question the amount of power these companies have because social media can be so influential. #UWJ201 #311

@OliviaBozich I think what is "news worthy" can depend on many factors, a big one being stories that appeal to large audiences. Getting viewers or readers is a huge part of what makes stories news worthy. #UWJ201 #311

@noa_chamberlin I think accuracy is ideally the most important element of journalism, however, it is difficult for journalists in our society to not prioritize funding or appealing to popular opinion. #UWJ201 #311

@rory_madden11 I think being well informed on a topic can help make people more willing to share their opinion. If they know they are in the minority but feel knowledgeable and confident enough to defend their opinion, they are more likely to speak out. #UWJ201 #311

[Ella Gorodetzky @ella_goro]

@MeganBarbGordon I think one person speaking out can help break the spiral. Once one person speaks out, others will see that someone else shares their opinion and will feel more comfortable voicing it. #UWJ201 #311

@ashleyanne51 @CateTarr I agree, warning consumers would be a good solution, or producing media that more accurately portrays the world. #UWJ201 #311

[Ella Gorodetzky @ella_goro]

@elizabeth12687 Yes, it is possible, especially for someone less deeply invested in the specific topic of the article and therefore may be less educated on the subject. #UWJ201 #311

[Ella Gorodetzky @ella_goro]

@Winn_Bartos The "Attention as a Valuable Resource" reading talked about how people only retain information from the news that they go in looking for. Someone who already has a biased perspective might watch a news source of the opposite party, but only hear what they want to. #UWJ201 #311

[Ella Gorodetzky @ella_goro]

@OliviaBozich We also discussed how people are more likely to pay attention when they believe the story is personally relevant, which is usually motivated by fear or anxiety. Crime is a great example of using emotions to capture people's attention. #UWJ201 #311

@KenWang925 Entertainment plays a huge part in advertising and promoting behaviors. Based on the Queen's Gambit article, sales of chess sets and books increased after the show became popular. It also often plays a part in pop culture behaviors, like fashion or how people talk. #UWJ201 #311

[Ella Gorodetzky @ella_goro]

@r_buckner12 @vox This is an interesting question, I think they both can affect each other. Family members or friends often send news articles and social media posts to each other, so is that news coming from an immediate circle or mass communication? #UWJ201 #311
