Description
Competency
Analyze the evolution of social media standards and practices and how
it relates to the potential need for regulation of social media, along
with ethical concerns.
Instructions
Many people get all or most of their news from social media. For this
project, we are going to be analyzing the content of several social
media sites from major news sources, paying particular attention to
social media standards, practices, and regulation.
Where do you get your news? Start by going to one major news site’s
FACEBOOK page (CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc.) Try another different news site’s
TWITTER feed, and third choose another social media site such as Reddit,
Pinterest, or another (preferably one you use, if there is one).
Analyze the sites in a 3-5 page total paper. In your analysis, be sure to include the following:
- General introduction to your thoughts on the social media you studied
- Several social media practices you observed (e.g., what gets the most interaction?)
- Examples of regulation of social media and discussion of such
regulation (Is it good, bad, or indifferent? How could circumstances
change the situation?) - Analysis of ethical concerns (e.g., can you see examples of bias?)
- What is the culture of each site how do users seem to respond to
questionable items? (Is racism or open mocking ignored or pursued?) - Conclusion of your findings
APA formatting is required.
