@prowag.bsky.social talked about the media cultivation theory, and I found this fascinating. I think this phenomenon is harmful to those developing their critical thinking skills and consuming more TV, like our younger generations. Could this influence their career aspirations, goals, and drive?

#UWJ201 In the first article we read, a former NYT public editor argues that major newspaper reporters aren’t driven by politics but by the pursuit of scoops, impact, and recognition. This posed the question for me: Is media bias a myth, or does motivation shape the narrative?

#UWJ201 @prowag.bsky.social showed political campaigns during lecture and they didn't include any kind of policy.
