Prof Christy talked about how tailored messages to target markets can have great benefits. Is there a point where too much tailoring can have negative effects? Maybe a customer feels like the firm is invading their personal info with an extremely targeted ad. #UWJ201 #320

@AnnabelBridges7 I’ve learned in my marketing class that Gen Z consumers are more skeptical of social media ads than other generations. I relate to this because I feel that a lot of the ads on my Instagram feed are scams, even if they are completely legitimate companies. #UWJ201 #320

@AaronMeier14 Some perceived barriers are legitimate, but most times we overplay how impactful the barriers are. For example, I thought not being able to eat 1hr before my covid test was a big barrier, but in reality I can most certainly find 1hr in my day where I’m not eating #UWJ201 #320

@RethmanJenna An example of this would be the ad for sensodyne toothpaste featuring dentists. We recognize their expertise and trust that they would know the best toothpaste to use. This example uses the authority persuasion principle. #UWJ201 #320

@alinapietr I think manipulation is different from persuasion in that it is more intensely targeted towards emotions and it’s a less transparent process. #UWJ201 #320

I use the central route of ELM when reading J201 tweets, but peripheral route when scrolling my timeline. Is this because I know there are consequences if I don’t tweet and respond and this motivates me? What other types of social media do you use central route for? #UWJ201 #320

@AlexaRappaport Although social media focuses on entertainment, there is still lots of entertainment that incorporates news stories. As time goes on, news and entertainment on social media will continue to both have large presences. Of course it’s still important to note any biases #UWJ201 #320

@ZentMaya I think my network is becoming more dense and more heterogeneous. I have been exposed to more viewpoints from the people I’ve met and followed on social media throughout college than compared to before college. #UWJ201 #320

Social media covers more entertainment rather than news, but what happens as entertainment and news start to combine? For example, SNL skits mocking recent news but still informing the audience. Are social media, entertainment, and news becoming synonymous? #UWJ201 #320

@Kayla31879264 I also found this aspect of pressure journalism interesting. I think these pressures have even been heightened in recent years due to the public’s demand for news 24/7 and the increased accessibility of news. #UWJ201 #320

@QuangNg32710077 I think this goes hand in hand with how when lawmakers quote think tanks, we can’t be certain if they think it’s a persuasive quote or if it is based on their own beliefs. #UWJ201 #320

In today’s episode of the Daily Podcast, indexing is seen as Biden’s gun control plan is covered following the Denver shooting, instead of hearing from victims and grassroots organizations. #UWJ201 #320

@amandamilleruw I’m not sure a super standard of perfectly fair coverage even exists today. Even if a news source tries to be as unbiased as possible, unconscious biases are often still present. An exception to this may be science news where the facts are simply laid out. #UWJ201 #320

[evargold @evargold]

@SaffronMears I agree with the reading in that confusion arises in voters when we only cover horse races. Instead, media should break down candidate’s policies and favorable issues so that all viewers can easily understand their points. #UWJ201 #320

[evargold @evargold]

On Monday we learned that incumbent presidents always get more coverage in election media, regardless of positive or negative. But I’m wondering if incumbents usually get more negative coverage? After serving a term there’s more to criticize than a new candidate. #UWJ201 #320

[evargold @evargold]

@bergman_amelia I think a great solution to this would be to reinvest in local news sources and eliminate news deserts in the effected communities. #UWJ201 #320

[evargold @evargold]

@TaleghaniDaniel I think media should be equally split between partisan and adversarial coverage in order for people to get the facts of an issue, but also voice their own opinions. #UWJ201 #320

Reading #4 this week addresses the high amounts of sexual harassment in the journalism profession. I was very interested in this topic and found another reading about how women outnumber men in journalism schools, but not in the newsrooms. #UWJ201 #320 https://t.co/1zjc0aPbwp

@CaseyAugust2 I think the fact that a lot of academics (professors/university faculty) live in the Madison area contributes to the liberal leaning state of Madison, but not sure if the student body makes Madison lean left or if the professors living here affect the students. #UWJ201 #320
