We discussed the ethics of using AI, specifically whether a journalist is spreading the truth or misinformation when reporting on fake AI-generated images that impact people or individuals, especially when these images are presented in a way that makes them appear real. #UWJ201 #301

One of this week's readings mentioned that people who trust the government the most are the least likely to believe in conspiracy theories. I agree with this idea. What do you think causes people to lose trust in the government? #UWJ201 #301

The readings this week talked about media outlets aligning with political views - social media enforces your beliefs. Does this make you stay away from certain sources? Do you think it should? #UWJ201 #301

Studying for finals has brought up a lot of thoughts for me as of late. One of them being vertical and horizontal integration and the subtle monopoly people hold within industries. As we have learned a lot about this, what do you think about people having the ability to do this? #UWJ201 #301

#UWJ201 #301 / We have talked about this in class but I would like everyone's opinions. Given that algorithms often reinforce stereotypes and marginalize groups for profit, do you think a government social media platform could be a better alternative to the current platforms we have?

I had the chance to read the times article about the motivations of reporters, I was wondering if you guys had any specific thoughts on any other motives that were neglected to be mentioned by the author that are important and relevant in journalism and reporting today? #UWJ201 #301

In class we looked at the strategies that advertisers use to get views. This reminded me of Ye and the Super Bowl ad and his ad. He nothing on costs and made 20 million in 1 day. It stuck in my mind due to how plain and unusual it was. Which Super Bowl ad impacted you the most and why? #UWJ201 #301

When I read "Who Owns the News". It was sickening to see the role and impact of money, corporations, and celebrity names affecting the integrity of our sources of news and how that in turn shapes our beliefs. How as a consumer can we combat these entities from doing this in the future?
