The conditions of journalism using social media(27 sep2011)
This document summarizes and analyzes Brian Stelter's article "What I Learned in Joplin" about using social media for disaster reporting. It discusses how Stelter used Twitter to report from the scene of the 2011 Joplin tornado in real-time by taking photos and sending short updates as cell service allowed. It also notes that while Twitter was useful for initial on-the-ground updates, Stelter was later able to file more complete stories on the New York Times website once he had a more stable internet connection. The document examines lessons for using social media as a reporting tool and revisiting early tweets to create stronger long-form reporting.

Twitter Libya
The document analyzes Twitter data related to the international political topic of the 2011 civil war in Libya. It examines the Twitter trend and sentiment toward #Libya for each country that participated in the UN resolution authorizing intervention. The trend was very similar across countries, with peaks likely corresponding to new information sources. Sentiment was difficult to judge and often showed both positive and negative views on the same topic, but peaks in sentiment could reveal areas of disagreement. While Twitter can effectively show discussion trends, sentiment analysis for political topics is tricky and best used to identify disagreement.
Reddit, Twitter & Sunil Tripathi
- In April 2013, after the Boston Marathon bombing, Reddit users incorrectly identified missing student Sunil Tripathi as one of the suspects based on photos posted by the FBI. This false speculation spread on social media.
- Within hours, threatening messages appeared on the Facebook page set up by Tripathi's family to find him. His brother received a call from an ABC reporter asking about the FBI photos.
- Despite the FBI reassuring the family Sunil was not a suspect, tweets from journalists and anonymous accounts with large followings helped the incorrect identification reach hundreds of thousands of people before it was disproven. Tragically, Sunil's body was later found in a river, and he had been missing since

Lies, Spies and Big Data: How Fake News Is Rewriting Political Landscapes
On November 7, 2016, Donald Trump was elected President of the United States after a bitterly-fought campaign against Hillary Clinton. The election was very closely-run, with Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote, but losing the presidency based on the U.S. electoral college structure. However, months after Donald Trump was declared President of the United States, questions remain about the legitimacy of the U.S. elections. The central issues are the emergence and use of so-called ‘Fake News’ and the accusation that Russia, through espionage and online hacking operations, sought to influence the presidential elections to promote Donald Trump and denigrate the reputation of Hillary Clinton.
The issues thrown up in the wake of the U.S. presidential election have fundamentally undermined trust in the workings of the international media and further damaged U.S.–Russia relations. A report by the U.S. intelligence services accusing Russia of attempting to influence the outcome of the election, prepared for President Obama and published in the election’s immediate aftermath, led to the expulsion1 of 35 Russian diplomats from Washington just days after the results were announced. President Putin, on the other hand, opted not to expel any U.S. diplomats from Russia. The investigation into Russia’s involvement and influence on the U.S. elections continues today.
This policy brief provides an overview of how the gathering and dissemination of news has changed in a globalized digital environment, how consumers digest and share news at an ever-increasing pace, and how the management of big data can influence electorates across borders. It will also define ‘fake news’ and the extent to which it might have influenced the results of the U.S. elections.
HuffPo Qualitative Research Summary Final
The document summarizes the findings of a qualitative research study that used a Facebook focus group to understand how undergraduate students get their news. The study found that students get news from a variety of sources and devices, preferring push notifications from social media and emails over searching directly. They value easily navigable sites with clear layouts, sharing features, and minimal ads. The document provides recommendations for The Huffington Post based on these findings, such as personalizing alerts and feeds, increasing social interactions, and focusing on the college demographic.
The Truth about Fake News: Lecture 1
This document discusses the issue of fake news and examines it from several perspectives. It begins by describing how fake news became a major topic during the 2016 US presidential election and increased skepticism about the credibility of news. It then analyzes different types of fake news like propaganda, fabricated stories, and hoaxes. The document also explores the history of propaganda and the challenges of verifying facts in an era of complex issues, uncertainty, and political polarization. While President Trump's attacks on "fake news" are effective at rallying his base, they may undermine the independent role of the press and erode support for civil liberties like freedom of the press.
Fake News Lecture Slides: Lecture 3
This document provides an overview of a class on the psychology and spread of fake news. It discusses factors that contribute to the belief and dissemination of fake news, including low political knowledge, confirmation bias, echo chambers on social media, and incentives for politicians to reinforce beliefs. It also outlines assignments for the class, including analyzing case studies of fake news articles through essays and presentations examining the source, content, and intended effects of the stories. Groups will analyze specific fake news stories and the document lists potential topics for each group.
D4-EWRT 2
This document contains information about a class discussing fake news and how to evaluate the reliability of news sources. It includes discussion prompts about three news sources the teacher assigned and how to analyze the genre of a New York Times news article. The document also lists upcoming assignments, including Journal 2 due Monday, Paper 1 due the following Friday, and a reading and discussion post assigned as homework.
Fake news and the economy of emotions
This document summarizes research on fake news and disinformation. It discusses how fake news spreads online, often through social media sites like Facebook, and how a small proportion of people consume most fake news. While few people directly consume fake news, its presence online can still influence beliefs and undermine trust in real news. The document also examines how fake news creators target people's emotions for profit or propaganda, and how emotions spread online. It concludes that addressing fake news will require a multi-stakeholder approach that includes education, changes to digital platforms and advertising, and efforts to increase media literacy.

Week 5 Final Discussion

The first effect I will discuss, is the belief-type effect. According to Potter (2014), "The media continually exert abelief-type effect by showing us the values used by people in the news and characters in fictional stories" (p. 295). This means that we observe the stories and characters we see, and base our lives around their values. That is why, so many shows have relatable characters. One good example of this, are classic shows, such as Leave it to Beaver and Happy Days. These shows created and showed, wholesome family values. By observing these values, people could pattern their lifestyles after the characters. In these types of shows, the characters are known to have manners and share good family values. The belief-type effect is used, to show the viewers what ideal family life is all about. A lot of today's popular programs, stray away from these wholesome values. I feel the belief-type effect, often helps to pattern our lives based on the programs we watch.
The second effect I will discuss, is the emotional-type effect. According to Potter (2014), "The media exert anemotional-type effect by making us feel things. They can trigger strong emotions such as fear, rage, and lust" (p. 283). The best example of this, is the news coverage of events occurring in the world. It is quite easy to see when you watch the news, you can feel the emotion and be touched by the stories you hear. Natural disasters are a great example, as they bring the emotion of fear and upset to many effected. The coverage of the recent election, caused a lot of emotions of anger and upset. These are just some examples, of how news stories can evoke an emotional reaction.

Strategies
By Cindy Harthorne
November 25, 2016
Unless one becomes a hermit, we must agree with Potter when he says, “You have little ability to avoid media exposures or their influences…but you have a good deal of potential to shape the influences of those messages…” (Potter, 2014, p 423). I had the gift of having a skeptical mother, who trained me in critical thinking when it comes to marketing, perhaps to make me feel better about the fact that we could not afford to purchase most of what was being marketed on television. Most of the following strategies will something I will continue doing throughout the course of my life.
1. Strengthen Your Personal Locus
Maintaining confidence in what I know to be true, and taking one step at a time, with unwavering commitment toward my personal goals, may not be easy, but it is what I do, and will continue to do. It is the best strategy.
2. Focus on Usefulness as a Goal
I plan to limit my exposure to media to those outlets that assist me in reaching my goals. In other words, I will use it for my purposes, instead of letting it use me for.

FINAL PRINT -Engagement in the Details - AN ANALYSIS OF READER INTERACTION AC...
This document is an introduction to a final project submitted by Nathan J. Stone for a master's degree. It discusses reader engagement with news across the New York Times and Facebook. It reviews literature on how people consume vast amounts of information through various sources like social media. It also discusses an experiment by NPR where they posted a fake news story to see how many people would comment without reading it. The introduction argues that for a democratic society, readers need to critically analyze and understand what they are reading rather than just scanning headlines. It will analyze reader comments on top stories from the New York Times and Facebook to examine the depth of engagement.
The Professional
The document discusses several myths and stereotypes about journalism, including the idea that all journalists share the same perspective. It explores the concept of worldview and how a journalist's worldview influences what they consider newsworthy and how they gather facts. The document also discusses the tension between objectivity and a journalist's cultural background and values, and whether it is possible for journalists to completely detach themselves emotionally. It examines the role of journalists as gatekeepers of information and the debate around granting confidentiality to sources.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
