#CS8030 the internet is powerful. It can affect people to the point where suicides, manhunts, and stuff like that happens.

#CS8030 It's got too many purposes to just die out anytime soon, so yeah it will survive. Especially if this class continues to use it~

#CS8030 Internet access is a privilege. To say that it's a right suggests that people can't go without it. That isn't true.

#cs8030 the doc said they already heard unbelievable news quite often. In news format & w/o contextual knowledge panic is believable.

#cs8030 does being an expert make you a reliable source?

[Teo Xing Zhi @xzteo]

#cs8030 objectivity is subjective to culture, so I don't think someone can really be truly objective.

[Teo Xing Zhi @xzteo]

#cs8030 so many papers owned by the same corps under diff names. Is it even possible to have a truly objective story?

[Teo Xing Zhi @xzteo]

#CS8030 of course. Have you SEEN how many people want to become wizards after Harry Potter, or some fangirls be vampires after Twilight?

#CS8030 Books are mediums because they are the channel in which authors relay a message (the story) to an audience.

[Teo Xing Zhi @xzteo]

#CS8030 People are led to think in certain ways without realizing it's the same message from one company shown in different ways.

#cs8030 Because $$$.
More exposure = more more eyeballs to sell to advertisers = more money.

[Teo Xing Zhi @xzteo]

Mass media subconsciously makes people feel that they are unable to survive without it, no matter how they interpret the message. #CS8030

[Teo Xing Zhi @xzteo]

#CS8030 Mass media is the transmission of content to a big audience (masses) through a channel (media).
