I just watched the [uncensored] Part 2 of the #PumpRules S10 reunion and my #MediaStudies brain is on đ„! These reunions could easily be in a series in and of themselves. Special shoutout to the editors for that. 1/
An abbreviated reaction to Part 1:
An abbreviated reaction to Part 1:
I will be watching both reunion episodes again later, as there is much to unpack, esp. in terms of the liminal space between "reality" and the real lives presented. What an excellent study for TV fans & scholars alike! 2/
As w/Part 1, James is still on đ„. Unpopular opinion: His "bathroom breaks" actually reflect a move toward maturity in him trying to take himself out of the picture when overwhelmed. He truly is a highlight of the season & Part 2 of the reunion develops that beautifully. 3/
I went to a "progressive" high school in Boston in the 90s. Their recent PR is more & more showy as far as big đ unmasked faces in school & at alumni events incl. a BIG in-person tribute to a recently deceased teacher. 𧔠1/8 #MediaLiteracy #CultureIsOrdinary #StorytimeWithTamar
My comment on their social media page highlighting the unmasked students, faculty & alumni at the event included my condolences & pointed to the fact (for the unmasked + the folks with masks ON THEIR CHINS) that #CovidIsNotOver. Perhaps it wasn't the right moment to mention, 2/8
but a day school smack dab in the middle of Boston inviting EVERYONE to join them w/barely 3 ppl. who are masked in photos of the many participants shows terrible judgment/understanding of where we're at with #SARS & with #Community.

1/ Censorship is a tactic historically associated with fascist regimes and ideologies. Fascists often seek to suppress dissent and opposition, and may use a variety of tactics to censor or limit the free expression of ideas that conflict with their own. #fascism #censorship
2/ This can take many forms, including censorship of the media, control of public discourse, and suppression of opposition political parties and social movements. In fascist regimes, the state often maintains strict control over information and communication channels.
3/ For example, Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler implemented strict censorship laws and policies, controlling what could be said, written, or published in the media. The regime used propaganda and censorship to promote its ideology and worldview, and to silence dissent.
1/ 𧔠In today's era of fast-paced social media and the internet, it's easy to be inundated with misinformation and fake news. However, social media grifters and even #MSM news orgs intentionally use misinformation and sensationalist opinions to increase their reach and exposure. 
2/In the world of politics, the power of information and ability to sway public opinion is crucial for gaining support and popularity. That's why many pundits and movements are using people being more prone to correcting information they believe is incorrect to their advantage.
3/ By spreading lies and half-truths, these âinfluencersâ can generate controversy and encourage engagement from both their supporters and detractors. This leads to conversations/arguments in comments which spreads the lies even further, becoming more polarizing in the process.
We're thrilled to see a number of Australian media literacy resources launched recently to support adults and young people develop their critical media literacy abilities. Here are a few of them...

I'm seeing a lot of memes related to gas prices being shared today. It makes sense. Not only are high gas prices a source of extreme frustration, but memes are an easy and satisfying way to capture and share what are often complex ideas and feelings. đ§”1/
Most people don't think twice about engaging with these informational amuse-bouches. They often seem harmless and dismissible - which may be one reason why these image based info-nuggets have become a popular tool for spreading disinformation & hate. đ§”2/ axios.com/2021/02/23/memâŠ
"For years there's been growing concern that deepfakes (doctored pictures/videos) would become truth's greatest threat. Instead memes have proven 2B a more effective tool in spreading misinfo b/c they're easier to produce & harder to moderate using artificial intelligence." 𧔠3/
Heads up #DigitalDetectiveSquad! Here's a quick #infolit lesson ripped straight from today's trending topics.
As I type this, the #mayoclinic is trending (on Twitter).
As I type this, the #mayoclinic is trending (on Twitter).
A quick look to find out why leads you to headlines like this one. For some time, this story (from NBC News), was the top result in the #mayoclinic feed. However, scroll down just a bit and the same headline, from dozens of other outlets, is repeated & shared thousands of times.
Here's what's missing from that headline: the #mayoclinic employs over 70,000 people. 700 people = less than 1% of its total workforce.
The headline to this story could have read "Vaccine mandate at Mayo Clinic results in employee firings of less than 1%"

1/9𧔠It's grievous #CDNmedia won't do its job so it appears I'm betraying my gender for contributing the facts
But problem with this narrative is they're omitting the part where Chu met the girl at a bar & that's what everything hinges on due to Supreme Court precedent #Thread

2/9𧔠Reason it matters that Chu met her at a drinking establishment is because Supreme Court ruled it's reasonable to ascertain someone is an adult, due to the pub's legal onus to check IDs to permit entry. Chu can't be prosecuted for luring a minor since she misrepresented age
One thing that #PandemicTwitterâą has convinced me of is that media literacy is a spiritual discipline we as a Church sorely need.

If youâve ever read, watched, or listened to a one-sided article, social media post, news segment, video, podcast, etc. presenting a black & white narrative and felt that something seemed off, itâs because something was. â
Anyone telling a black & white story is presenting only a piece of a puzzle.
Even in cases where there seem to be obvious âgood guysâ and âbad guysâ thereâs always nuance to any occurrence. â

#medialiteracy thread: These are not "protestors." They're violent, avowed, white supremacist, domestic terrorists. The only accurate word news outlets should use is "terrorists." It's not a "demonstration"--journalists must report accurately as an armed insurrection/coup attempt
This coup is coming from inside the (White) House. They incited it. They welcome it. So this fascistic would-be dictator and his administration enablers did nothing to prevent it. Snipers and Nat'l Guard would've been on call if these domestic terrorists were Black/brown/Muslim.
Far right, Nazi sympathizing domestic terrorists have been promising a coup attempt for weeks, yet nothing was done in advance to prevent it. And today there was no substantive effort to quash them from breaching the Capitol, Senate floor endangering lives, liberty, democracy.
This is an extraordinary example of who & what media serves. This media event was viewed by millions. Perhaps billions. See man who steps behind Thunberg, to the right. No one - not 1 journalist or media outlet reported on who this man was - that accompanied Thunberg EVERYWHERE.

I've been receiving a lot of questions about how parents should be talking to their teens about #misinformation related to the #election. At @mediawise, I lead our Teen Fact-Checking Network, and I work with teens daily to debunk viral claims. Here are some tips
First, a look at what my teens are flagging. We're seeing a lot of out-of-context photos and memes, manipulated videos and screenshots lacking context taken from one platform and posted to another. Here are some tips you can give your teen (and use yourself):
First, have them question how the post makes them feel. Outraged? Shocked? Disgusted? Posts that are designed to spark an intense emotional reaction *could* be misinformation.

When you see someone making controversial claims -- things that make you react emotionally -- you gotta check the facts.
So how to verify this one? Look to primary sources.

@MittRomneyâs Twitter is a great place to start. He tweeted his condolences Friday, but didnât share his voting plans then.
Today @SenatorRomney (second account) put out a statement making it clear that he is willing to vote on a nominee before election day.
