Ahhh... the last blog of the semester. Like the midterm review blog this is simply an opportunity for you to ask and answer each other's questions and discuss anything that you think will be helpful in preparation for the final. I would suggest looking at your class notes, handouts from class, your reading assignments along with your review sheet. This is primarily an open forum for you so check back often during the week and comment/question/ponder/review as much as you would like.
One request: please take just a couple of minutes to complete your course evaluation if you have not done so already. I would really appreciate it. Just follow this link to go to Campus Connect.
Good luck with all of your studying!
Also you can find a digital version of the final review sheet here: http://mediaandamericanpolitics.wordpress.com/course-documents-and-syllabus/

Blogs and Traditional Media
What are blogs? Richard Davis Says:
New Journalist, new more independent form of journalist
participatory journalist, actively playing a role
neutral commentators
activist
Most bloggers are more biased and the main question we should ask is what value does blogs add?
Blogs offer great opportunities to read views that you would not have not have seen otherwise, but what does it mean as a source?
Relationships to traditional media is…. Symbiotic ( according to Richard Davis)
They have a symbiotic relationship that can gain credibility. THis relationship is important because new and blogger need each other. News sources are looking at blog sources and this relationship is reciprocated.
Bloggers are looking at news coverage to look at stories and to as critique the news.
When it comes to media coverage are blogs a positive or a negative?
It can be helpful and harmful due to the fact that its easy to be persuade.A lot of bloggers aren't credible and there blogs are more opinion based therefore there messages aren't always fact based. But it could be positive because it is always a modern alternative to the traditional news view.
I have a question I hope someone can help me with. What is mediated messaging? It's in the terms to identify in the first section of the study guide.
ReplyDeleteI have the same question on mediated messaging, I think it is in the Jarol B. Manheim reading, I'm not sure. And what is direct messaging?
ReplyDeleteMediated messaging refers to traditional methods of influencing agenda and media coverage, i.e. indirect, framed, messaging relayed by third-party (media) organizations. Direct messaging, in the context of media and elections, refers to the direct communication between candidates and citizens (e.g. messages via mail, email, social media, text-messages, etc...)
DeleteThis is what I have in my notes about direct messaging and the context in which it was discussed...
ReplyDeleteHow campaigns try to affect the media and voters
* Methods used to reach out to voters
*
* broadcast news local/national - free media aspect trying to get people on board
* Direct messaging - going public, used to be all about the president
*
* today anyone can go public
* the internet’s impact
* how to use your money effectively and how to be efficient
* in 2012 it wasn’t about social media and technology anymore - it was about the data
* Obama was more effective - bought ads earlier, in july and not october for example
* second, the o campaign, had all this data from 2008 and purchased info based on DVRs - they micro targeted their audiences
* example: campaign design debate
