    1. But modern talk radio had another crucial feature: the par-ticipation of the audience. People—regular people—were invitedto have their say on the radio.

      Talk radio, gosh I wish that was all we had now... haha.

    2. Many, however, had little concern for what wenow call objectivity. Papers had points of view, reflecting thepolitics of their backers and owners

      I feel like we are kind of at this spot again.

    3. The rise of the citizen journalist will help us listen. Theability of anyone to make the news will give new voice to peoplewho’ve felt voiceless—and whose words we need to hear. Theyare showing all of us—citizen, journalist, newsmaker—newways of talking, of learning.

      This is great, and has been happening. However, I feel like it's also made it easier for people to make up all kinds of stories and spread them online...

    4. Corporate journalism,which dominates today, is squeezing quality to boost profits inthe short term.

      Yes, and that's why it is so easy for people (including our president) to criticize the media...and call it fake.

    5. Howard Dean’s presidential cam-paign failed, but his methods will be studied and emulatedbecause of the way his campaign used new tools to engagehis supporters in a conversation.

      He was the first, and then Obama used it even more

    6. Our core values, including accu-racy and fairness, will remain important, and we’ll still begatekeepers in some ways, but our ability to shape largerconversations—and to provide context—will be at least asimportant as our ability to gather facts and report them.

      I absolutely love this! Context is just as important, if not more important than the actual story itself.

    7. In a world ofsatellite communications and fiber optics, real-time journalism isroutine; but now we journalists had added the expertise of theaudience.

      Big media no longer got to present only the news they wanted, in the way that they wanted to present it.

    8. But something else, something profound, was happeningthis time around: news was being produced by regular peoplewho had something to say and show, and not solely by the“official” news organizations that had traditionally decided howthe first draft of history would look.

      Some may see this as the beginning of the end, while others may view this as one of the best things to happen.

    1. Welcome!

      Kayla - you continue to improve your website. To me, things keep getting better and better. I'm curious if you plan to include more about yourself. It might just be me, but I feel like people connect more with readings that offer a bit more about the author. Obviously not suggesting you go outside your comfort zone, however, you might want to offer up ways in which the reading (the stuff you blog about) is relevant to your life.

    1. How Can Groups Make Good Decisions?

      What a great job with this! It's interesting how much peer pressure can impact our role in group work. I'm wondering if you've thought about instances in your life where you have felt you didn't speak up (or give your true opinion on things) because you felt pressured from your peers. I'm curious if you'd ever considering including a bit more of your personal experiences in your blog posts. I think they give the reader a more first hand account, and help peak their interests in blog posts, etc.

    1. THE WORK OF RYAN GOLL

      You continue to make your website an interesting space. I really like the images that you've used, as well as the blog posts that you've selected. I'm curious if you've thought about including even more personal information, especially on the About page. I think it will help the reader connect with you, and quite possibly inspire them to play baseball or respect baseball.

    1. ​Why Coaching?

      I really like this page. The fact that you personalized it so much was extremely helpful, I think it's really important to humanize ourselves on online spaces. I also appreciate that you speak of the help you've gotten from your coaches, and the lessons that you feel you've learned from them and from the game.

    1. Jenny's Portfolio

      Your portfolio is really coming along! I've already noted this before, but I love the images you've chosen. I also enjoy reading your blog posts. Keep up the good work!

    2. Feel free to take a look at my blog! Here's the link: https://2311w.blogspot.com/

      I like that you put the url to your blog here, however, you may want to put an actual link. Otherwise the reader has to copy and paste it into the url bar.

    1. I disagree with this because I think the industry will be shut down before that occurs. It is against the law to drive recklessly so law enforcement will not let this happen. Also, users of the app will most likely reject using Uber to get to places if they feel unsafe about their environment.

      I agree with what you've said here. However, I wonder what/if any laws will be changed when self driving cars are in the majority.

    1. My friend told me it gives you updates on deals for food, so immediately signed up. I agreed to the terms of service without reading it just so I could start using the extension and order food. It is crazy to think how often I agree to terms, and just how little I know what I am agreeing to

      I like how you personalized this... It's funny what we'll sign up for when we have hungry stomachs haha.

    1. Popular culture is going to fit for everyone, and assimilating people to it is something I disagree with.

      Did you mean.... Popular culture is not going to be a good fit for everyone.... ? I only ask because of the sentence that follows this one. You may want to change the wording

    1. No single moral philosophy can be applied to all situations

      I feel like we are living in a time, possibly due to social media, where people think their very own morality is how everyone else should live or solve their day to day life issues. This quote is great!

    2. Though we might like to think that all cognitive human beings were born with an innate setof values and a fundamental set of virtues, this is not the case. Clearly, some behaviors areinnate to survival in animals of all species, such as avoiding some dangers not necessarilytaught by parents, seeking food, and protecting the young. But behaviors such as kindness,loyalty, sharing, telling the truth, and not stealing or cheating are learned.

      This is interesting, because I'd say some people would argue that people are innately good and kind, but have learned to be bad and mean. This reading makes more sense to me.

    3. Consequently, concepts of rightnessand wrongness are meaningless apart from the specific contexts in which they arise.

      I've found this to be true, even within one city, one state, or one country.

    4. Table 1.5Prima Facie Priorities1.Fidelity:Duty to keep commitments. This includes the duty to honor one’s professional code.2.Reparation:Duty to correct past wrongs.3.Gratitude:Duty to repay.4.Justice:Duty to prevent unfair distribution of benefits. This includes limited resources suchas organs for transplantation.5.Beneficence:Duty to increase general happiness.6.Self-improvement:Duty to better oneself. This includes a professional’s duty to continuingeducation.7.Non-malfeasance:Duty to prevent harm. This includes duty to make risk assessments of theconsequences of emerging technologies.

      I had never heard of Prima Facie Priorities.

    5. In short, citizens join in a social contract whereby they exchange some of their rightsin order to protect society.

      This Locke idea is great in theory, and it does seem to create a more just society in many ways. That said, not everyone really signed this social contract. Some were just merely born into on particular contract.

    6. Justice often sits at the intersection of the moral theory of duty to respect the rights of eachindividual and the moral theory of doing that which will make the most people happy.

      Those who make the world a more just place really do have to think outside of their own lives. In a world full of differing opinions and beliefs, this is no easy feat!
