ENC 3213 Everglades University Traditional Mainstream Media Discussion

Description

Answer both Prompt 1 (choose either 1a or 1b to answer- not both) and Prompt 2. If possible, provide personal examples to illustrate your answers. Then come back later in the week and comment on at least two of your classmates’ responses. Remember, you must post your first response by Wednesday.

Choose one of the following to respond to for Prompt 1:

(1a) Traditional mainstream media act as so-called gatekeepers that vet the news and decide what kind of content gets published. However, social media networks have changed the game. Now anyone with an Internet connection can publish anything, even fake news, and reach vast audiences in mere seconds. What are the benefits and dangers of this unprecedented access and speed of distribution?

(1b) The eminent sociologist Zygmunt Bauman had this to say about social media: “Most people use social media not to unite, not to open their horizons wider, but on the contrary, to cut themselves a comfort zone where the only sounds they hear are the echoes of their own voice, where the only things they see are the reflections of their own face. Social media are very useful, they provide pleasure, but they are a trap.” Do you agree? Why or why not? How do you use social media networks?

And answer Prompt 2 below:

(2) As you have seen in this chapter, some businesses seek to protect themselves from negative online reviews by slipping non-disparagement clauses into their terms of service. Then, in some cases, they sue the authors of negative posts. Lawmakers have taken note, and a new law might void such statements in small print. Is trying to silence online reviewers fair, or are businesses within their rights to protect from illegitimate, damaging complaints?
