PROPOGANDA One of the other groups presentations that really stuck out to me was the Awareness group. As a whole, I found that their individual topics were interesting, but I especially remember the section on Propaganda. I felt as though the examples that the group used were very fascinating and helped me to better visualize what exactly propaganda is. While I have heard of this and have seen a few examples in the past, I haven’t seen most of the ones that this group presented. Propaganda can be defined as “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.” This inevitably has had a huge impact on society due to the fact its persuasive and captivating ways. Although this concept was revolutionized in the time of WW1, it has continued to be recognized as an election strategy in today’s political climate.  (I liked how the presenter also showed us a bunch of examples and had us guess what the...

https://en.instagram-brand.com/assets Although it wasn’t my topic specifically, another technological invention that really struck me during the presentations, was that of social media- specifically Instagram.

However, on a much larger degree, Instagram has revolutionized the way businesses market products and services to a target audience. In the realm of social media’s evolution, the id...

Alternative Media Who?

Alternative Media Who? My group was focused on Mediasphere and my topic specifically covered Alternative Media. While trying to find a true definition of what alternative media is, I found it was best defined by what it is not. "Whatever ideas lie beyond the pale, whatever is not accepted, not permitted, not available in the corporate and government mainstream"- Charles Willett. To me this implies that it is the news source that is not mainstream or corporate owned. Inevitability, there are both good and bad implications to this concept. To begin, it represents and gives voice to the “secondary” who are often times ignored by the mainstream media. Additionally it gives people the opportunity to research the news that is important to them, without it being corrupt or overflowing with “general” news. People also firmly believe that alternative media seeks political and social change because it gives voice to those who are seeking it. With all of that being said, many believe...
