#UWJ201 #316 the focus of the reading this week heavily looked at algorithms in digital media that guide our daily lives. The reading how algorithms reproduce social and racial inequality, argues technology is not neutral. What is a time you saw social inequality reproduced?

@rachelhleff123 #UWJ201 #316 I think that instagram does the best job at digital marketing, for it incorporates paid ads as well as allowing organic listing engagement. Instagram provides a two way communication and gives that control to people by offering the opportunity to generate content

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

@TaleghaniDaniel #UWJ201 #316 I think one platform to add would be Facebook, for it reaches a different generation and is still widely used. A lot of non profit organizations look to Facebook for reach.

#UWJ201 #316 in lecture we talked all about public relations. We talked about how over time public relations have evolved to incorporate a two way communication versus only one way. What is a prominent example on social platforms where you have seen this two way communication?

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

@EricksonMakenna #UWJ201 #316 I would also agree I think feel as though ads are very prevalent, but I think a lot of advertising has turned more to public relations. I say this because I see more about people reposting something a company posted in comparison to the amount of paid ads I see.

@ally_wang4 #UWJ201 #316 The most ads that I see on social media are on Instagram integrated into when I scroll through Instagram stories and my feed. These ads are effective because they are tailored to things I search/mention that I want or need. The ads are easy to access as well.

#UWJ201 #316 in lecture we talked about the elaboration likelihood model and discussed the two routes. What are two examples you can think of for both?

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

@sarahtobin_10 #UWJ201 #316 I think the most persuasive principle is likability I feel as though this is what can cause a lot of difference in opinion on matters. I think this plays a large role in people being persuaded to do things out of fear of disappointing that person.

@isabellae_xoxo #UWJ201 #316 it was said in lecture that the average American encounters about 5,000 messages a day. For me the most catching ones are those with an emotional context that make me feel something whether that is love, sadness, or happiness.

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

@CaseyAugust2 #UWJ201 #316 I think that is a huge factor in people believing information. People form perceptions on sources that determine if they find information as true or not. My mom says don’t believe everything you hear on Instagram even though she probably heard the same on Facebook.

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

#UWJ201 #316 In lecture we discussed network connections. When thinking about connections how would you describe the density and heterogeneity of your own connections as you get older?

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

@_JaylaNimo #UWJ201 #316 I think the reasoning for our generation utilizing Facebook less than Instagram and tik tok because of when platforms were introduced. Facebook was introduced before we were really started engaging with apps like that. Then when started using them Instagram came out.

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

#UWJ201 #316 In class as well as the Wagner and Perryman study we learned about the organizational model of journalism. Beyond what we discussed in class what are some other pressures that you can think of or have been subject to when writing academic papers at school.

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

@pete_bevington #UWJ201 #316 this is a very good point and I think that when less accuracy is needed, information spreads fast, for it is often more accessible. The problem with using Wikipedia as a credible source is because anyone can put anything on there making it lack accuracy, but spread.

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

@maddydoeden #UWJ201 #316 I find myself very skeptical of news because I know that some news often can be funded my a monopolizing organizations whether vertically or horizontally. Disney is a prime example of this, but there are so many in the world that make me question the truth of news

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

#UWJ201 #316 In the reading 4 Steps to Help Build Trust with TV News Audiences the second element is inviting audience participation. How/What are ways that the news that you have interacted with asked for your participation?

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

@clairebradleyyy #UWJ201 #316 I think that freedom of speech is valid and that platforms like Twitter should only control the discourse when needed. When language is termed as hate speech and inciting violence than those individuals should have a ban for a certain length depending on the extent.

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

@kymcoolidge1 #UWJ201 #316 By removing certain individuals from specific platforms allows for these platforms to determine the discourse. I think by limiting and controlling the discourse that proves against freedom of speech. However, I don’t think that freedom of speech justifies behavior.

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

@AaronMeier14 #UWJ201 #316 I think the intro of second hand screening and apps like Twitter really propelled this shift. Social media is a strong proponent in what gave people included public officials to shape debate. People can now engage with more and also have more power to influence.

[Maya Zent @ZentMaya]

@clairebradleyyy #UWJ201 #316 I do see a major problem with this and this was covered a little in the Why News is the Way it Is article. The more attention we give to something like people magazine, the more stuff like that will be covered. We need to be aware of this and stay educated.
