Benefits of AI on journalism are: increased efficiency, better story targeting, and a greater volume of stories. However, we don't want an excess of stories burying others, especially not naturally produced stories. #UWJ201 #314

Any type of emotional reporting would be hard for AI to replicate, but most of the garbage reporting would be easy for AI to replicate due to its simplicity and abundance. #UWJ201 #314

This is a great point, if people only have access to one type of portrayal, that is what they will believe. I also agree that anyone can be susceptible to game frames, there's not really a reason that women would be more likely to be. #UWJ201 #314

likeability does change the desire I have to know more about a company. It helps me to perceive their ads as less annoying, therefore increasing the likely hood that I will pay attention. #UWJ201 #314

AI has made it much easier to detect falsehoods/fact check. This leads to a more honest and trustworthy media environment, at least on mediated apps. #UWJ201 #314

It's likely hard to build trust because different individuals and audiences respond to these strategies differently, leading towards some groups being trustworthy and some not. Trust is also harder to gain from more educated/media literate individuals. #UWJ201 #314

We could encourage more education at a younger age to "ingrain" better strategies and intuition when it comes to addressing misinformation. However, to an extent, it comes down to how much an individual cares to research, which is a separate problem. #UWJ201 #314

I've been thinking this exact thing, and it applies to both parties. Most of the time, I believe that these ads are targeted at uneducated and/or young individuals to set their agenda. It also seems like if you don't participate in these ads, you will become a victim(as a candidate). #UWJ201 #314

Absolutely. I've noticed, especially on YouTube that whenever a sponsored segment comes up, it feels very forced. Rarely does the influencer actually support the product or believe that it is useful, but some viewers think that they do. #UWJ201 #314

I think it would be almost impossible. Any time there's a proposal that limits any sort of freedom, people are outraged and instantly see the slippery slope that could become of one small censorship. Obama used this to describe why he couldn't do anything about gun control. #UWJ201 #314

I see this in my family. My dad grew up in milwaukee and was in "sketchy" areas all the time growing up. Today, he doesn't seem too bothered in these areas. My mom, on the other hand(who didn't grow up in a bad area), is very suspicious and wary of people in both good and bad areas. #UWJ201 #314

It's interesting how our uncles on Facebook are the most honest and open about their opinions, yet they are judged the most often. What if our uncles weren't the only ones afraid to share their thoughts? #UWJ201

I found this infographic that sorts almost all media into 6 groups based on the company they are owned and operated by. I thought it was interesting to see how much the CEO's make. www.webfx.com/blog/interne... #J201 #314

I believe that pack journalism is more an effect of laziness than a deliberate attempt to limit viewpoints. It could also be that journalists are afraid to have their own opinion due to pressures from higher ups to follow what "the best" news outlets are outputting. #J201 #314
