Where's my thinking?
Part 1. Compose a "Where's my thinking?" document on Writing Partners of no more than 400 words. What have you learned from your reading and annotations so far? What are you thinking about your inquiry now? You might include the background and some of your summary writing from the Google Doc you're using for this assignment. Link to the document on Writing Partners.
Throughout my research, reading, and annotations so far I have learned a lot. The first article I found mostly talked about how traditional media platforms have shifted to "opinions about the news" rather than the news itself as it draws in viewers, and ratings go up. This means more money for the people behind the scenes. I also learned a lot about social media and the ways that it contributed to political polarization. Social media allows anyone to post anything so the spread of misinformation is easier. People get stuck in echo chambers which is where they hear only opinions that are similar to their own. I think that my inquiry will continue to still focus on how political polarization and social media but start to tie in traditional media more as well. Political polarization could be one of the biggest issues in America politically and it has only skyrocketed over the last decade. It has divided the US, and if you don't agree with a side then you are just incorrect in the views of those people. Overall, there is a lot to still learn, and things that we can do about political polarization but if we want anything to change then it will take everyone.
