In lecture we learned about Public Relations and how it can control how an audience may react to a company. Do you have any examples of how a PR team turned something bad into good media? #UWJ201 #314
@abbycattapan A good PR team can control how the company responds to an event. In the case of cancel culture, a good PR team is capable of making sure the company stays out of controversial events and allows for the company to get good media reactions. #UWJ201 #314
@beccaspitalnik I don’t think there is a specific way PR can ensure a good image but I think if there is a good staff with experience it can be ensured. Also following the media and seeing how the target audience reacts can lead PR in the right direction. #UWJ201 #314
@allielevitt2 I believe that a more peripheral route, rather than a central route will increase vaccine rates. I think that most vaccine advertisements have been the central route but with peripheral, we can see reasoning beyond numbers. #UWJ201 #301
@kaseysteinn I would probably use the peripheral route because those advertisements tend to be easier to remember. I also think that this route of persuasion is more effective because it is not only focusing on the message but the surrounding factors. #UWJ201 #314
In lecture and discussion this week, we talked about how Facebook, like other social media apps, has become one of the hardest apps to regulate and stop harmful information being put out. Do you have any ideas that could potentially help regulate this? #UWJ201 #314
@GracenSpritka I believe that it is a good thing and a bad thing. A good thing because social media has made it more accessible for people to get the news but a bad thing because there is more room for misinformation and disinformation on social media rather than news on TV. #UWJ201 #314
@Tessa05081185 Some examples of this are the fact that social media apps filter what they believe you want to see. Most of my instagram or tik tok ads are things that I have searched in the past so they are only reinforcing what I want to see. #UWJ201 #314
Earlier this week in lecture we talked about cross media ownership and how one corporation owns the news media outlets. Do you think this limits the amount of news we are provide with? #UWJ201 #314
@katerouman I definitely think this is effective but I wouldn’t say it is the most effective way to stop a journalist from doing their job. I feel that people should learn from their mistakes so such a permanent/long term punishment might not be the most effective. #UWJ201 #314
@melaniegubernik I would say this is because Madison and Milwaukee are the most left leaning, liberal cities in WI and the NYT typically spreads liberal news. #UWJ201 #314
In lecture we talked about the topic of deplatforming. Do you think deplatforming is the most effective way to send a message to the public about what to and not to post? Is deplatforming the best option in the long run? #UWJ201 #314
@kaylachilly I don’t think this would be as big of an issue because Donald Trump was such a big Political figure. He also had a huge following that supported him blindly so there was an outrage when Twitter removed his account. #UWJ201 #314
@RachelUmland2 the most effective strategies for building trust with the audience would be if media organizations provided more evidence for their arguments. Keeping news more neutral would allow for people to creat their own opinions rather than just agreeing with the source. #UWJ201 #314
In lecture and discussion, a key aspect that is talked about is if it is possible for reporters to keep an article completely unbiased. Everyone has opinions and there are typically different “sides to a story” so do you think it is possible? If so, how? #UWJ201 #314
@ella_goro A lot of the time people who don’t typically watch or read news would fall for fake news faster than someone who watches or reads the news regularly. A huge part of this is because of clickbait. People believe what they see. #UWJ201 #314
@apomrening15 this would increase my trust because I feel that knowing why a reporter is covering an article proves that there is importance behind the topic. In society, people are so quick to assume but with a reasoning, the audience can understand. #UWJ201 #314
