In lecture this week, we discussed fake news and deep fakes a lot. Especially during the 2016 election, there were a lot of photos out there that weren't real, and therefore caused harm. What are some fake news examples you can think of that caused harm in the media? #UWJ201 #309

In the review for our midterm this week, we discussed how when Covid first hit, Fox news first interviewed more partisan experts as opposed to health experts. Why do you think this is, and do you think it is dangerous? #UWJ201 #309

In lecture on Monday, Professor Wagner discussed how TV is an equalizer, and can educate the less knowledgeable. Usually I just think of TV as being entertaining, but it truly is educational as well. I think it's super cool how TV can bridge the gap of knowledge. #UWJ201 #309

In lecture on Monday, Professor Wagner talked about protest framing and how the women's march focused on substance of critiques, while the BLM protests focused on threats and violence. Does it matter to you how a protest is framed? Or do you not care about how it is phrased? #UWJ201 #309

In lecture on Monday, we talked a lot about the ways in which people phrase things, and how the words we use can really impact how people respond to certain topics. Do you think that phrasing things in a less controversial way can take away from the actual content of the topic? #UWJ201 #309

In lecture on Monday, Professor Wagner talked about the difference between alarm coverage and patrol coverage. Do you guys think that alarm coverage is dangerous? Or do you think it has more pros than cons? What is your own personal experience with alarm coverage? #UWJ201 #309

In lecture on Wednesday, Professor Wagner discussed how Rupert Murdoch bought the Wall St. Journal, and how therefore the editorial pages started to skew information more positively towards Republicans. Does anyone know of any other examples where this has happened? #UWJ201 #304

In lecture on Monday, I found it really interesting when Prof. Wagner discussed filter bubbles. This concept is extremely damaging as people only consume media that they themselves align with, and therefore do not get any other perspectives on how other people view the world. #UWJ201 #304
