• What method was used to determine the findings? (e.g., experiment, survey,interviews, etc.)
• Do you agree with the findings? Why or why not?
• Which of the four mass communication eras could be used to help explain these findings? Explain why.
• How else might this specific example be studied and how could the results change by changing the method?
Posts can include written responses, videos, or audio recordings but should be critical and insightful and posted by Wednesday (midnight) each week.
Discussion 1: We make some strong claims about the power of the new communication technologies to reshape not only the media industries but also the world that relies on them. It is impossible to pick up a contemporary newspaper or magazine without seeing the same theme echoed. Are people making too much of the Internet and the World Wide Web? Are these technologies destined to become just "more TV" or another way to see ads and do your shopping? What impact do you see digital technologies having on the ways our society and culture are shaped?

What other ways can you engage in the media that canhelp provide you with different perspectives and world views?
