Wednesday's lecture introduced the Elaboration Likelihood Model. There are two paths to persuasion: central (deep thinking, lasting change) and peripheral (distraction, emotion, short-term).

In Wednesday's lecture, we learned that TV shapes our worldview -- heavy viewers overestimate crime, adopt traditional roles, and mirror TV’s biases. Does today’s fragmented media still centralize storytelling? How do frames/TV mold our reality? #UWJ201 #301
