Topic 1- I am Warren, the natural resources or some kind of physical science student- currently in landscaping and main career goal is not be a landscaper. I am interested in science and technology when interested in reviewing a media source. I am also a runner, my last run was the Mac 50k in the McDonald forest, when I can I run with my three dogs in the woods.

Topic 2- When it comes to news, the majority of it comes from listening to NPR through OPR on the radio. I can assume it's quite reliable beside it generally is presented towards certain groups of people and will repeat some stories and not includes other stories. I also look at the Google NewStand app on my phone but again that has been balanced toward past topics that I had been interested in and definitely has been created with settings to allow certain stories to been shown without requesting.
According to "fake news", yes I am concern of the abundance of it and the media sources that have been using it to control the masses, while pointing the finger toward safe media-as fake media providers. The best way to avoid it, I think - is to check with additional publications and compare them with each other. I like to see how other countries are relaying our new, so I'll listen to the BBC too.

    While I have never heard of any of the sources you listed, I am curious enough to go check them out online and see what they are. I am always one curious, and wanting to learn what I do not know.
    I agree with your response on the best way to avoid "fake news". Checking out additional resources and comparing what information is provided, and then just trying to decide what sources seem to be the most reliable and knowledgeable on the subject.

Week 2  Topic 1 - When I started using a Twitter, my main focus was pretty dumb things but since current election outcomes, that has completely changed and I use it to gain the public news feed of democratic candidate. My first was Senator Bernie Sanders because the importance of he believe the public should know what the senate is up too; while he is a advocate to the like views I appeal towards. My newest Tweeter is Senator Kamala Harris, the possible 2020 presidential candidate. I believe that after the last democratic presidential upset, I believe the states need a better representative that would accurately reflect the minority and is a better female candidate than that last one for the democratic party for my opinion.  But the most recent addition to my feed is Kyle MacLachlan, from the early ninety television series Twin Peaks. I think everyone needs a break from political tweets no matter what party you choose to be affiliated with and the my past enjoyment of the old and

Week 3  Topic 1 Note: the advertisement above is slightly different from the advertisement written below because I had forgotten to capture and save it  While using my Instagram profile, I think the advertisement that appeals to me semi-directly is 'Bespoke post' "Free Box". This ad seems to be directed towards man or at least the post upon my viewing feed or it just knows that I am a male from my gender identification preference. To answer that first question, "how does the company use social media"- I assuming they use gender preferences to advertise towards male individuals that are materialistic. By joining the membership of forty-five dollars a month the individual will get an item or a few, from this company every month. In another advertisement which I have not been able to relocate- it gives you a preview of the possibilities of what may receive. In this ad, the words in bold white text spells out "FREE BOX"and below it is shaving cre
