Last article discussion

            For an article talk in this week I choose the The topic about “Twitter wants to become your go-to source for news” and you could see more information on this link

            In the news they said that Twitter released a new feature that highlights tweets from news publishers. The feature replaces URL links with a card-like format that displays brief summaries of stories and an enhanced image. This happened because many users already flock to the digital media platform site for news. The number of Twitter users receive their news from the social media site are increased 11% from 2013, according by Pew Research Center. Moreover, Tweets hopes to attract users to news articles and ultimately drive them to publishers’ sites.

             In my opinion, this would be a good choice to drive in news. Nowadays, people are interested to follow what happening in the day. News is one site which we could follow the world situation. Also, people using Twitter like their life.  If Twitter make easy to connect with the news article by a link publishers, it would be good. However, a benefit by this change would not happen with just to the users. Furthermore, Twitter would increase the number of users who visit the site for news content.

My partner is Golf. He chooses the article about “Japan scraps 2020 Olympic stadium design”. The Japanese government has decided to scrap its controversial design for the stadium for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.

Bias Story

          Last week I wrote a story about Glutathione. It is a chemical that using in medical profession to help people who are alcoholism, asthma, cancer, heart disease, etc. Moreover, people using it for skin whitening. But, I did not write it in the good ways. I used the Media bias call “Bias by Omission” to omitted the good ways of Glutathione. After that I gave the story to my partner to analyze for Bias.

              
          Bibi is my partner. First, she told me that she could not find any Bias is my writing. She explained to me that I have to improve my story. Also, I improved and gave it to her again. This time she told me that I was using many type of Bias, such as:

• Bias by Labeling: I wrote repeatedly Glutathione it seem bad. I told that Glutathione is very expensive and it could make a cancer, blind and dead.
• Bias by spin: I described an example case that was dead because Glutathione. In fact, she is dead because another reason.
• Bias by selection of sources: i mentioned to Dr jang that he was said about Glutathione.

Anyway, I tried to use several Bias in my story. But it not work at all.
