In my opinion, it's not a conflict of interest because reporters each have their own opinions. As long as they don't exemplify this in their writing, and keep it unbiased, there is a good chance it's not a conflict of interest.

I think that the most used is the first strategy (to build a strong consumer base). For more than just MLMs, this strategy is necessary to keep a company successful. This strategy also utilizes elements of the new model of marketing, which is also vital for success and widely used.

For me, social proof and consistency are influential in my decisions. Feeling as though the decision I'm making especially concerning the news isn't super out there is important. In society, I think that authority is important, as seen with Trump.

In this age, I believe focusing on PR or the new model of marketing is important. There is a place for both, but with the influence of social media, marketing is a very important part of having a successful company. People have a short attention span. so knowing how to keep it is hard

Definitely. The power of social media to fearmonger people from all generations is astounding. I think a future solution is to grow the influence of local news for Gen X and Millennials, as we have seen that local news sources are the most trusted.

Yes, I believe that it does. Conspiracy theories against "Big Government" etc. are gaining more and more traction. In my opinion, this exemplifies the current state of our political landscape with the people who are in power right now. #UWJ201 #301

Yes, I have, with how divided the country is right now, it's difficult not to assume certain qualities based on who someone supports. News media plays into this as well because if you are solely getting news from one side of the aisle, you are more likely to fit that character.

It's getting more and more difficult for the media to be truly nonpartisan with how polarized the US is right now. The best way to combat this is to get news from a variety of news sources to avoid framing & agenda-setting effects (and more).

This is a good idea however, this seems to be being filled by social media. During the discussion, we talked about how people reposting articles on Instagram is a way of equalizing and how this can lead to the spread of misinformation by those with lower education.

In my opinion, this statistic will continue to be accurate, as not pursuing a college degree leads to a multi-faceted array of consequences, one of which is being less informed on current events. Due to this, I believe that it will continue to be accurate.

Watching FRIENDS and Seinfeld as a kid, I thought that living in NYC in a huge apartment was a very achievable goal on their incomes, which isn't true. However, I don't think that this is a bad thing. These are fictional TV shows, and they are adhering to their genre. #UWJ201 #301

It is perceived differently because white allyship on issues can be performative, or not hold depth as white people probably haven't experienced the issues they are protesting about. This can lead to a lack of education, and presenting the issue inaccurately. #UWJ201 #301

The competitiveness and quick turnover rate of the media industry heavily influence reporters because basing your livelihood on such a fluctuating base will result in the need to be cutthroat to earn a living, and the more attention a story gets, the more money you will receive. #UWJ201 #301

Public views are heavily influenced by framing based on the news source from which the information is presented and the reporter's opinions. While some aspects of framing can be avoided on highly controversial topics, it is difficult to be unbiased. #UWJ201 #301

In my opinion, the most comparable comparison is the influence of Super Bowl Ads. These can have the same effect on watchers, as it is being shown in the significance of this year's commercials.

I think that this is dependent on age groups within a community! Older generations still get physical newspapers and read them front to cover, while our generation gets our news from online.

The chain reaction of how falsified news spreads is detrimental to our society, as it complicates the jobs of journalists who are tasked with spreading factual information to the public. #UWJ201 #301
