Is this still an ethical job if conditions and pay increase? I believe content moderation is necessary, but how can we best do it so all parties are satisfied? #so315
I had not thought about this even being a job, and it's crazy to me that not only is it a job, but an extremely crappy job as well. People should not be subjected to that kind of material period, but especially not for such little pay and horrible conditions. #so315
"Post-truth" culture is such an interesting concept that I've never really thought super deeply about, but I do think it's true. So many people just want views and likes, and a good way of getting those is coming up with crazy fake news. It really blurs the lines on what to believe. #so315
@lilpoundcake1 I find this too - I never know what to trust and often don't know where to turn for the truth. It's definitely helping me look at more sources and expanding my viewpoints. #so315
@lilpoundcake1 I agree, it seems obvious but I hadn't thought about applying the same theories and ideology we use on ourselves and how we interact with the world to an institution such as journalism. #so315
I really appreciate that Cline suggests changing how we think about even just the word "bias". It has such powerful connotation and taking a step back and thinking about what it means in different situations is extremely valuable when assessing things like that. #so315
This Awareness Instinct that Kovach and Rosentiel describe is really interesting. How does this change from generation to generation? Older generations miss "Free uncensored, undistorted, abundant information" (2), but younger generations won't be exposed to news like that so will this instinct change or go away as time goes on and news becomes more and more commercialized? #so315
@smm1 I completely agree. All of the consumerism surrounding influencing and media just makes me think about how fake it all is - all these influencers really care about is making money most of the time, so what should we believe from them? #so315
@smb44 I agree with this! I always think about how, as much as you try, you can never be truly unbiased due to implicit biases as well as explicit. #so315
This makes me think about South Park's representations of Trump. They say that media outlets are being careful about what they say about Trump, but Paramount is completely dogging on him (as they should) - what will the implications of this be? #so315
