Despite this, a first time VS model with vitiligo walked in the show, so clearly they are trying to diversify their model selection. However, all their diverse models still fit a stereotypical body image, and it would be nice to see some plus size models. https://t.co/SfGzmTgIek

Chief Marketing Officer of Victoria's Secret made some strange remarks after being asked if he would consider plus size or trans models in the show. Other than racial diversity, there truly is not much diversity in the show.
#COMM316HC@RoseannPluretti https://t.co/IeEKNFxEZ9 Interesting to see how this awkward situation with Jim Acosta and a White House intern is being portrayed differently by two news sources. If the news journalist was a woman, and the intern was a man would this be any different?
#COMM316HC@RoseannPluretti thinking about Halloween costumes today in class reminded me of seeing a Pocahontas costume online...if someone dresses as a Disney character does it make cultural appropriation less apparent?
#COMM316HC@RoseannPluretti Watching one of my favorite shows Broad City last night, I was thinking about how the main character Ilana is bisexual but her sexuality is rarely discussed or labeled. This is a good portrayal of bisexuality because sexuality shouldn't be a big deal.
#COMM316HC@RoseannPluretti This week's reading discusses how the media creates and reinforces stereotypes of Latinos/ Hispanics..it is interesting to think about how their origins often have ties to a political agenda. This was definitely evident in Trump's campaign agenda.
Happy to see that the Shenandoah-Kirkland Initiative at Hamilton is having an event this Monday October 8th to acknowledge indigenous inhabitants of this land and spreading this message of awareness and inclusivity on campus. #COMM316HC@RoseannPluretti

Great advertisement showing how Serena Williams has faced diversity and intersectionality head on, and broken all stereotypes.

Interesting to see that even such a credible source as the New York Times still makes mistakes involving diversity and race in their media. However, it seems that audience members are more aware to holding sources accountable
Seeing media coverage of Hurricane Florence makes me wonder if there was as much coverage of Hurricane Maria in a Puerto Rico...possibly some biases going on here.

It's clear by the overwhelming support and praise that Aerie has received from their recent campaign that people want more diversity and inclusion in the media. Hopefully more companies will continue to promote inclusion! #COMM316HC@RoseannPluretti
Lansberg’s point about how cinema uses certain techniques to identify with characters is apparent in the film I, Tonya. In popular culture, Tonya Harding is seen as more of a villain. But this film forces us to see how she grew up and feel empathetic towards her. #comm106
I think that Benjamin's benefits of storytelling and strongly relates to the popularity of podcasts today...I just finished the popular podcast "S Town"and was surprised at how captivating listening to narration was. Reminded me of books on tape I listened to as a child. #comm106
@SammyJo38054903 I thought this was a valid point as well. I still try to stay away from the news because it often is too depressing or upsetting for me. Ignorance is bliss I guess... #comm106
