Is it fair to say PR can reek more benefits than advertising, or vice versa? Could a company/organization still succeed if they were only to use one of these means of strategic communication? #UWJ201 #307
@Veronic58208677 Yes and no, I know some companies will benefit even from negative publicity from certain crowds, but it’s a tough balance with today’s cancel culture. #UWJ201 #307
@MasonHolcombe I believe that they work together, PR can be benefited by positive advertisement while advertising can be benefited by positive PR. To be most effective both need to be working together. #UWJ201 #307
Scott Dikkers spoke on how media consumers play a huge role in spreading misinformation. Could this issue be resolved by non partisan news outlets or will it always be a prevalent issue due to readers misinterpreting the news? #UWJ201 #307
@DamianoTea I believe that humor in journalism is important, it helps take the edge off of what you are consuming. Not only does it make it easier to talk about sensitive subjects, but it can also be a healthy break from the mainstream news. #UWJ201 #307
@noa_chamberlin This reminds me a lot of Scott Dikkers talk. He spoke on the prevalence of fake news and how that was America's true pandemic. I think that his perception on the matter was pretty spot on, without reliable news people can be manipulated into believing anything. #UWJ201 #307
@nevburleton Although we are exceedingly overwhelmed by the stories pushed through the media, there are still those stories that are told by word of mouth. I believe that each of us still have individual/personal stories that we will continue to tell without any profit incentive. #UWJ201 #307
@NiemiecJennaUW It’s scary how much media young children consume. This consumption has gone up dramatically just over the past decade. This makes you question what this will look like in ten more years and what effects we will begin to notice? #UWJ201 #307
@jude_woythaler It's pretty scary to think about how easy it is for people with a following to spread news like this. The choice of wording in this tweet definitely has the power to evoke some pretty powerful emotions from people. #UWJ201 #307
@elena_mccosh Good point! Our short writing assignment made me think about all the music I listen to throughout the day in a completely different sense. I think music has power to influence us in a big way, especially with how much of a platform it has #UWJ201 #307
To what extent have the entertainment and social media industries taken over mass communication? McGarr speaks on how the Tulsa massacre has just become part of our standard narrative after its history reached the masses in HBO's Watchmen. #UWJ201 #307
Does social media take more than it gives? Yes it gives each and every one of us the ability to express ourselves, but does growing up with it steal your individuality? #UWJ201
