I would also have to make the assumption of their beliefs based on their political party, but this could create misconceptions. It's helpful the flyers informed which candidate belongs to which party, but not every Republican or Democrat has the same beliefs and policies on issues. #315

I agree, this is a part of influencing. Even though we know they're not an expert and most likely being paid for promotion, we are still influenced by the figure simply because we like their content. #J201 #315

It's bombarding. It is no surprise, though, that he influences the media. The buzz is creating talk. The limits are being pushed to evaluate the US reactions. Check out the White House's Instagram for a magazine cover, "Long Live the King" and "deportation ASMR" under the White House's reels. #315

It raises an important point about the ethical considerations of framing. If framing is effective even on neutral topics, where is the line between informing and manipulating? Can we present facts objectively and engage an audience, or is some degree of framing inevitable? #UWJ201

That’s the challenge, isn’t it? Truth lacks the emotional punch that fuels misinformation. The key may be in compelling storytelling and framing facts in ways that engage while maintaining journalistic integrity. How can we make truth just as shareable without sacrificing accuracy? #UWJ201

I totally agree with this. Today you must check sources, reliability, and bias especially when article titles are starting to be designed to maximize engagement more than ever. Selective framing highlighting certain details to fit a narrative is becoming increasingly common as well. #UWJ201

That’s a great perspective!
It makes me wonder; if success depends on reputation, is journalism shifting towards public perception rather than the objective truth? When misinformation spreads easily, how can journalism uphold truth if it’s just a reflection of public sentiment? #UWJ201

Amina, a lie that is curated to provoke feelings of fear or anger, encourages the lie to spread like a wildfire. Often, truth is more complex which is why I have noticed the truth seekers are the ones who dig for the information. The lie spreaders are quick to spread misinformation and so on #UWJ201

Hi, I also have been thinking about this a ton! Even though the FCC creates laws and regulations protecting a monopoly within media, because we know this is an unethical practice. I think there should be more regulations to prevent this. Large corporations continue to buy out others. #UWJ201 #315
