#uwj201 #312 In this weeks first reading, it states genuine and interpersonal communication is best for managing a crisis online. Do you think more messages from companies are going to be genuine or pretend to be genuine based on what to say from research as they get more data?

@LauraSlusser3 #UWJ201 #312 It depends on the following of the celebrity along with the response from them. Some people who have followings that don't care about cancel culture so it doesn't affect them as much if they're canceled and a good response can smooth things over with the public.

@elliemilius1 #UWJ201 #312 I think it depends on the market they are targeting. For instance, younger markets that our similar to our age would have the most success on platforms such as YouTube and Instagram, while markets for people in their 40s would have the most success on Facebook.

@JanczakKarl #UWJ201 #312 I believe companies can avoid this behavior by hiring a diverse set of members to create their ads that stem from multiple backgrounds. I believe this will help reduce the amount of racist ads through diverse members giving their perspective on issues with ads.

@JayJayDost #UWJ201 #312 I do not believe that the system will ever be entirely impartial, but if the programmers who create the system for sorting information and content come from diverse backgrounds and focus on equality in their programs, the human biases will be lessened greatly.

#uwj201 #312 People who are well funded and have high technical skill are able to control social media narratives and optimize their content. Is it the job of the consumer or the media platforms to combat this issue?

#UWJ201 #312 With advertising and e-commerce becoming blurred and media companies shifting toward e-commerce, is this a good for society (allowing consumers to instantly buy products they may like) or a bad (using instant gratification to get consumers to spend money)?

@JayJayDost #UWJ201 #312 I believe there can be a mutually beneficial relationship between both if the company has an effective product and sets goals to work with their customers instead of just selling the product.

@t8anderson99 #UWJ201 #312 I believe that it isn't invasive since media users put the information in themselves. I believe it can become invasive if companies use DMs or voice activation when the user is not aware, but for general information such as interests and demographics, it is fine.

@kouri_sophia #UWJ201 #312 I believe it is important in the new "show me era" to become your own editor as Kovach and Rosenstiel explained when talking about how the rise of availability in news sources puts the responsibility on the consumer to verify the truth instead of the journalist.

@kaelynguyen #UWJ201 #312 I believe that it is important to learn the differences between the models of journalism so you can figure out if what you are reading is journalism of verification, which is based on fact over opinion, or meant to persuade/affirm your beliefs.

#uwj201 #312 In chapter 3 of Blur it talks about interest-group journalism only providing the information that helps their political cause. Is it possible to use multiple sources that are under the model of interest-group journalism to get the complete story on a topic?

@AlisonStecker #UWJ201 #312 I believe many companies earn money based on the number of clicks they can get, therefore they try to clickbait people, instead of creating unbiased coverage and building trust with consumers. I fell they use polarizing topic and bold statement to get attention.

@naomi_liana_ #UWJ201 #312 I believe that there should be considered on a case by case basis because even if a person does not have a lot of followers, they could still receive a lot of attention from a single post and use that big post to cause harm.

#uwj201 #312 In my discussion section we talked a lot about deplatforming and the control social media companies have. Can these risks of power of social media be translated over to the power TV news has to deplatform people through not covering them?

@EichstadtSarah #UWJ201 #312 I believe it is a good thing that journalists what to expose corruption because it hold those in power accountable and discourages politicians from doing wrong things.

[[email protected] @RRyanstevens]

@jennaetrucke #UWJ201 #312 I believe a negative effect is journalist may be willing to trade off key parts of a story to make a more entertaining article, which leads the reader to become under informed.

#uwj201 #312 With journalism being a huge key to holding the government accountable for their actions, but also a business it's hard to know what is ethical. Where is the line drawn between trading accountability of the government for personal financial gain?

@paigehovanes #UWJ201 #312 I believe news sources often take sound bites and short clips out of context to support their view. This works well for people who don't use multiple sources of media because they will take the stance that they saw on the news with the limited information they have.

@keiper_maggie #UWJ201 #312 I believe the technology is already there to use and in the future more companies will capitalize from online local news sources. Also, younger generations are more used to the internet, therefore would be more likely to use online sources.
