@Kim and Rafaella
A very interesting paper which highlights the role of social media that has almost replaced traditional media especially quality newspapers which have shut their doors in so many places around the world. Social media is a reality and now it's time to deal with them as accountability platforms that must also adhere to journalism and use values.

@Urwa Tariq,
I watched your presentation! That's very interesting! It seems like Japanese animation is really a big hit everywhere!

Hi Akosua,
I really enjoyed your presentation!
Not only was it clear and extremely well delivered, but your research also relates in some ways to what I have explored (particularly the part about audiences wanting information/news that they will agree with).
Journalists want to be first rather than accurate sometimes - this is something I have said and written many times and I am so pleased to hear a fellow PhD student say it!
Your research is also of great interest to me as I come from a journalism background (several years of experience across multiple platforms).
It was a pleasure listening to you.
All the best,
Jarrod.
@Jarrod Sansom.
Hi Jarrod,
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Yes, the concept of confirmation bias is real! Audiences are sometimes drawn to information that agrees with what they believe, or aligns with what they would like to hear. This has certainly not helped with the challenge of public distrust in the news media.
Certainly, because of competition, news stations want to be the first to break news. This is at the expense of the public viewing them as trustworthy, since some of the material broadcasted are inaccurate and not verified for authenticity. I am glad that I highlighted the genuine sentiments that you hold concerning this topic, too.
Yes, I also have a background of a number of years in journalism. So, this research topic was of particular interest to me. Besides, there has been a lot of talk about this in more recent times so, it is a relevant issue that we can appreciate.
Thank you once again!
Sincerely,
Akosua.
@Kim Hebben,@Raphaela Tkotzyk, Your presentation was quite thought-provoking, and sent me in different directions as well. Facebook groups created for different or rare medical conditions, some which actually exclude doctors, can serve as rich resources for information to help with diagnosis or treatment too. Patients and caretakers share latest research and information about resources, but also compare symptoms and treatment.
