In class Wednesday, we talked about the elaboration likelihood method. How does the Elaboration Likelihood Model make our theories about how individuals process persuasive messages more complex (1) #UWJ201 #315

In class yesterday, we talked about the harmfulness of deepfakes. As they get more believable, I don't agree that humans are the best option for calling attention to the fact. How can companies use better technology to combat this without users feeling like it is limiting speech? #UWJ201 #315

In class today, we discussed presumed media influence. I am wondering in what ways we can combat this effect. Or is it uncontrollable and the only thing we can do is ensure what is being published has a positive influence? Can we control this in a way besides changing what is written? #UWJ201 #315

Television used to be central to storytelling and newscasting. How has its influence changed with the birth of social media and the internet? Is it still as impactful, or do the multiple forms of media decrease the impact of it? #UWJ201 #315

In lecture on Wednesday, we talked about cultivation theory. Beyond mean world syndrome, I wondered how cultivation theory explains the potential for media to cultivate positive perceptions of the world, specifically positive social attitudes, alongside negative ones. #UWJ201 #315

In class, we talked about patrol and alarm reporting models. I have questions about both. For alarm, I wondered how journalists decide the severity level of their story. It seems like that is a very interpretive decision to make. (1)

In class today we talked about how ads get our attention. I found it interesting that they appeal to specific emotions. I wonder how they do this effectively without becoming too boring and similar to other companies. #UWJ201 #315

Professor Wagner spoke about "the Fox News effect," in which businesses can basically buy larger audiences. With all the rules put in place, it seems strange that such an event would be able to happen. How are we combatting this? Is there any way? #UWJ201 #315

After today's lecture, I was left wondering what is being done to counteract the buying ≠ satisfaction issue in America. This issue seems to be something that people don't notice and isn't widely talked about. How can this be improved? #UWJ201 #315
