Would like to see some use of multimedia content to help illustrate the theory.

This link is broken...perhaps there is a DOI that could be used?

This would be a great source for Media Richness theory (note to Isaac Cobbs)

Would like to see some multimedia content incorporated with your text.

Great idea!

Haa! Very clever!

Check out this article, https://www.poynter.org/news/walter-lippmann-liberty-and-news-century-old-mirror-our-troubled-times

Wow, just found this article about a book my Lippmann, written in 1919. https://www.poynter.org/news/walter-lippmann-liberty-and-news-century-old-mirror-our-troubled-times

Hi Lacy, overall pretty good content. I enjoyed the use of Captain America as an example of pro-America propaganda. However, I expected you to mention the standard propaganda techniques, e.g. bandwagon, testimonial, glittering generalities, etc. Also, you could do a better job formatting the layout to make the text and images flow better. One thing that will help is making the images smaller, but then linking them to larger versions for those who want to see them in more detail. Also, you need to provide answers to your short essay questions.

This idea could use additional development.

Good job Chris.

One suggestions...I'd like you to provide an outline for how the essay questions might be answered successfully. I understand that there are many "correct" ways to respond, but perhaps you could provide an example of how one might successfully respond, e.g., mention of WOM for the answer to the question about advertising.

Recent research has questioned the portrayal of the audience at the time. See http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/history/2013/10/orson_welles_war_of_the_worlds_panic_myth_the_infamous_radio_broadcast_did.html

I think it would be fair to say that editors of newspapers/magazines have been effectively gatekeeping since the dawn of publishing. Another good example would be the start of broadcast (radio and TV) news since they were effectively limited in the length of their program and (with the exception of extended coverage, e.g. a news event such as 9/11) had to decide what would be the lead story and what would make it into the 30-minute program.

For more on corporate social responsibility (with a connection to mass media/advertising), see this recent article about the Matt Damon Super Bowl ad for Stella Artois, https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/02/02/582664769/fact-checking-matt-damons-clean-water-promise-in-a-super-bowl-ad

A couple of things are missing:

• Questions/answers for exam.
• Citations/References

Also, the focus of the theory should be on mass media (since this is a course in mass media theory). You are too focused on corporate social responsibility...which is related, but not central to this course. My initial comments were posted Feb 8 and I don't see any evidence that you've considered them and made changes.

Matt, I updated your title (removed the redundant line) to focus on the "press." You need to review the chapt in your textbook and add to your page to focus on the Social Responsibility theory/model as it applies to the press. You might also incorporate the assigned readings in Bb > 04 Normative Theories.

Matt, please review the assignment specifications in Bb and update your Scalar page accordingly. If you have questions, please let me know.

Nice job Alec! I think you're observations about how media have changed in the years since Klapper conducted his research are important to understanding why this theory needs to be updated. Certainly the rise of multiple screens, and the amount of time spent with these screens, is an important development. One suggest to improve your page is to provide ideas for how the essay questions might be successfully answered. E.g., an answer to the second question might address the rising popularity of first-person shooter video games (with increasing levels of visual detail and realism) while overall violent crime statistics have shown a downward trajectory.

Hey James, this might be something to consider for your presentation. http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/22/technology/snapchat-update-kylie-jenner/index.html

Hey Jayson, did you see where Kyle Jenner's tweet caused SnapChat to lose $1.3B in value? http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/22/technology/snapchat-update-kylie-jenner/index.html

Ryan, good job with what you've posted...but you're missing key elements, e.g., sources and citations, quiz items, etc.

Use headings (size) in a consistent manner. Overall good job, but would like to see one or two multimedia elements (images, video, etc.) Also, be sure to provide answers to your short essay questions.

Good job Isaac. One thing missing are the answers to your short essay questions.

If you are going to use it, it is important that you identify the tweet from President Trump as "fake" in the 7th slide.

Hey Darius...overall pretty good, but your narration script could use a little editing/formatting.

Nice job Anthony...looking forward to your presentation.

Not sure what this title refers to.

Looks good James, looking forward to your presentation.

Hi Marino, you still have some footnotes, e.g., [8], that were copied from the Wikipedia entry. When repurposing information from websites it is best to compose from original thoughts rather than editing text that was copied and pasted.

Hey Patrick, you and your brother need to use the embed code from slideshare.net to embed your slides into your Scalar pages...and then type the narration/script for each slide below. Lots of good examples now posted by your classmates...or come by my office for assistance.

Hi Emily, it is not clear which text goes with each slide/image. It would be helpful if each slide's text was its own paragraph, and numbered 1-20.

Nice job Trey, looking forward to your presentation.

Good info Chris, looking forward to your presentation.

Hi Jon, you need to either provide a narration soundtrack for the video or post your script for each :20 segment below the video.

Hey Jacob, you were going to provide citations for sources of these stats.

Rather than focusing on the crime, trial and verdict, your piece about Berlinger and Sinofsky should focus on how they, as filmmakers, made a compelling documentary. We need more of a focus on their style and technique as expressed in each of the films that make up this trilogy.
