Is breaking news a thing if viewers don't consider the topic important? In that case, wouldn't it just be "news"? #BreakingTheInternet #Comm106

Robins' piece makes me ponder the idea of credibility. Who should be allowed to decide/regulate if something is credible or not, especially in news? The government could do it, but then that opens up its own can of worms #FakeNewsAlways #RegulateFreePress? #Comm106

@Pohl_Geneva @w_cjordan So I wonder what is more believe a photo or a broadcast? Since one is a picture, while the other is actually being told. #Curious #Comm106

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

I feel like it's easier to make someone believe something if they were to hear about it compared to if they were to see it. That's probably why the broadcast in Schwartz's reading was so effective. #Comm106

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

@w_cjordan True, even worst are the fake celebrity death posts on facebook. #Trolls #Comm106

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

@Shenise_D Same. I particularly like how the concepts of dialogue and dissemination seem to spill over to broadcasting. What have you liked so far? #comm106

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

@MarianiComm106 Thanks Sandro! That's definitely true. Paranoia can really distort one's rationale. #PeopleWereBugging #comm106

The stories in these readings are only believable since they contain some form of factual information whether it was about the setting, objects, or people. By doing so, it makes it easier for listeners/readers to believe in what they are hearing or reading. #FakeNews #Comm106

@timr100 I couldn't find the Celestial Discoveries reading by Hill, Wang, and Goodman in the library reserves. #Comm106 #NoReading? #WorthATry

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

@junpei_taguchi @junpei_taguchi I agree. He even mentions how there are short comings of telepathy, which is considered the only way for "perfect" communication. #comm106

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

@timr100 The Ewen's reading was similar to the readings we did in witnessing disasters. This picture comes to mind. #Comm106

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

Ewen's reading reminds me of the phrase "A picture can tell a thousands words". The FSA and RA were able to use black and white pictures of the impoverished to illicit empathy from viewers. #Comm106

“The looseness of personal identification of the telephone’s eeriness I still think applies today since people can still call on *9, which blurs their number/caller ID" #Creepy #Creeping101 #Comm106

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

@minhtopotato I don't think interactions are as important anymore as long as the listener is able to receive/ understand the message. #Comm106 #Podcasts

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

It seems like media imperialism could just be another word for propaganda. #Comm106

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

Landsberg point on how cinema/ film makes us empathizes with characters that are not like us is a good point. I remember watching this scene and I empathized hard with pikachu. #SaddestSceneEver #MyGuyAshDead #Comm106

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

@AulicinoSophia I think the shift also has to do with society's expectations of equality based on gender and race. For example, it would have been surprising to see Black Panther decades ago because films with a mostly black cast wasn't common. The same can be said about women. #Comm106

[Vincent Tran @VtranCommClass]

Benjamin mentions how people quickly become ready to judge film/art rather than to get lost in it due to mechanical reproduction. This reminds me of people leaving a movie and saying, "That was good, but that scene was unrealistic"

@Shenise_D Totally! #ThanksForFollowingMe #....... #HI

I find it funny and true how Miller stated, " everybody watches TV, but no one likes it." This sentiment is probably why Hulu and Netflix has been able to so well. #ViewersHaveAChoice #LessCommericials #Comm106
