gate keeping agenda setting


 Gate Keeping/agenda setting





        The theory of agenda setting is primarily based on the way the news reports the information it is given based on what's best for the news station. This means the news that is given is being swayed or filtered based on what the news wants the public to think about a story. For example, if a news station is frequently only reporting bad or intentionally skewed information about a candidate who has opposing views than the owners of the news corporations. This is the definition of agenda setting.
    The theory of gatekeeping is the act of filtering the news to only report the news that they believe to be important an example of this would be someone with investments in Biden not running any news about Hunter Biden's laptop. They are trying to keep information from the publics eye so it isn't asked about. This is an example of gatekeeping the public from the news.

   The AI job Artificial Intelligence                Artificial Intelligence can be defined as the ability of a computer program to learn and think.  Everything can be construed as AI if the computer or program does something that normally would really on the intelligence of an actual human being. There are advantages to AI such as the reduction of human error.  Also the risk involved of a machine doing something that a human would normally do  like defuse a bomb.  Defusing a bomb via  AI could potentially save someone's life.

   Diffusion of Innovations Diffusion of Innovation Theory - sph.bu.edu - Boston UniversityBoston Universityhttps://sphweb.bumc.bu.edu › behavioralchangetheories4              I found this to be an interesting theory.  Why do some people adopt new ideas and technology and some do not.  Is the new really better than the old.  Is the new faster and easier, better? Or are people just used to the old and set in their ways.  I myself have seen examples of this in my own life.  I went to a Junior Boarding School, Cardigan Mountain School for eight through ninth grade.  While at school we were unable to access any social media.  When we came to school we had to turn in our phones, and any other devices that had wifi in to the office.  We were all given an Apple lap top computer to use. The laptops had a program on it where the school could see what we were doing, they limited our use of free internet to two ho...

                     My  opinion of why you have to seek out obscure anti war websites is that the mainstream media is biased.  The bias of the main stream media was clearly apparent during the Presidential Election of 2020.  Anyone could see from reading, or watching just a blip of the news which way the bias leaned towards.  Fox News clearly favored Trump, while pretty much every other news source ABD, CBS, and NBC favored Biden.  When it comes to war I am not sure where the truth actually lies.  From reading the websites suggested in the Syllabus on Anti War, there seem to be some credible authors on the website. on The American Conservative Website, author Doug Bandow was a former special assistant to President Ronald Reagan.  Most people look at Ronald Reagan as a good President.  My grandfather looks back on "The Reagan Years" as he says they were very good to him as he was employed...
