    1. Ideas that are “liked” by many people have the potential of becoming trends

      but there is no difference between positive and negative interaction with a social media post

    2. However, there is no quality assessment built into these buttons: onlinequantication indiscriminately accumulates acclamation and applause, and, by implication, deprecation anddisapproval. The choice for a “like” button betrays an ideological predilection: it favors instant, gut-red,emotional, positive evaluations.

      talk about the social media platform that tried adding a dislike button

    1. Q3. Do radio stations, television services, and online broadcasters meet your needs and interests? Please provide comments towards both Indigenous and non-Indigenous broadcasters. How can these services be improved so that broadcasting services better meet your needs and interests? Please explain. Do the programs and content respectfully/accurately reflect you and/or your community? How could programming be more relevant and representative? How do you receive programming services (over-the-air, cable, direct-to-home [satellite], or online)?

      this question seems very important for my analysis

    1. The Commission considers that a definition of "native" should coincide with the definition of "aboriginal" as contained in the Canadian Constitution; that is, "aboriginal peoples of Canada includes the Indian, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada."

      but the constitution is racist. We still have the Indian Act

    1. Under no circumstances should current recipients receive less funding thanthey currently receive. Corus should still be eligible and should receive atleast $13 million to offset the funding lost through the Rogers/Shaw merger.The Commission could impose caps to ensure an equitable distribution offunds

      okay so where is this extra money going to come from?

    3. As journalists reach affected areas, there tends to be a decrease in thereliance on audience content

      hierarchy

      but as newsrooms cut roles this might become more common

    4. In practice, studies show that journalists have largely transferredexisting norms and practices to new media, rather than taking on the open and participa-tory ethos of Web 2.0 tools and services.

    5. Social media raises questions about journalism’s jurisdictional claim to the news.Journalism has developed as a relatively closed professional culture for the production ofknowledge, based on a system of editorial control. Yet social media is characterized by itsconnected and collaborative nature. Social digital media spaces allow for new relationsthat disrupt authorial structures.

    6. It has become commonplace for the citizens caught up in thenews to provide the first accounts, images, and video of events unfolding around them,sharing their media on services such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter

      And then journalists can get this content from these platforms

    1. They “control what audiences see and who gets paid for their attention, and even whatformat and type of journalism flourishes” (Bell and Owen 2017, 9

    3. journalism is often seen to be in this third position, as aweak institution, frequently bowing to market demands and sometimes to governmentdemands

      so does it also give into social media demands? and how does this relate to the politics of X?

    1. Yet there are many approaches to the study of media, culture,and society in separate disciplines and academic fields. Often critics take a singleperspective and use a specific method and theory to understand, make sense of,interpret, or criticize media and cultural texts. Others eschew all methodological andtheoretical critical strategies in favor of empirical description and analysis.

      media and culture are both interdisciplinary and benefit from mixed methodological approaches; however, we currently lean toward the qualitative, even in this program.

    1. programs produced by Canadians

      one of the biggest things to come out of this is how do we decide what it means to be produced by a Canadian? Who is a Canadian and what makes CanCon?

    2. be drawn from local, regional, national and international sources, including, at the local level, from community broadcasters who, through collaboration with local organizations and community members, are in the unique position of being able to provide varied programming to meet the needs of specific audiences,

      how is this possible with the loss of local news?

    3. through its programming and the employment opportunities arising out of its operations, serve the needs and interests of all Canadians — including Canadians from Black or other racialized communities and Canadians of diverse ethnocultural backgrounds, socio-economic statuses, abilities and disabilities, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and ages — and reflect their circumstances and aspirations, including equal rights, the linguistic duality and multicultural and multiracial nature of Canadian society and the special place of Indigenous peoples and languages within that society,

      while it is obviously a positive that the policy recognizes the need for diverse content, without a diversity in creator profiles or executives in broadcasting positions there is no guarantee that this content will be acurately representative.

    4. a wide range of programming that reflects Canadian attitudes, opinions, ideas, values and artistic creativity,

      how are these Canadian ideals identified? and are they fluid?

    5. the Canadian broadcasting system, operating primarily in the English and French languages and comprising public, private and community elements, makes use of radio frequencies that are public property and provides, t

      While English and French are our national languages this again reinforces pre-existing demographic hierarchies in eliminating Indigenous content.

    1. to stimulate research and development in Canada in the field of telecommunications and to encourage innovation in the provision of telecommunications services

      research on whom and for whom?

    2. serves to safeguard, enrich and strengthen the social and economic fabric of Canada and its regions

      but does it really do this? or does it just re-establish the same biases that are rampant in our regional distribution in Canada?

    1. We avoid including posts attacking an individual or their character unless they are integral to the conversation as it is occurring on X and can be placed appropriately in context.

      I'm sure tweets have been used in defamation cases before

    2. Corrections: If we become aware that we have highlighted content that turns out to be inaccurate, we will update the Moment with a visible correction, and issue an updated post. In rare cases, we may delete the Moment and post a retraction.

      has this ever happened?

    3. We will use data-driven decision making when choosing posts around controversial topics, and highlight the posts already receiving the most engagement on X.

      the opposite of subjective news judgement. How is this impartial? What is the data-driven decision making and is this process public and open to scrutiny? If not, how is it impartial?
