What is community?
A community is a group of people who are in a have a common purpose that they share that binds them together. Having this purpose however does not mean that they will agree all the time on all issues that go through their channels. Rather, they can discuss and debate these differences to gain a better understanding of all the views from each side so that it is given a fair chance. Online communities have a unique route of communication because they are not limited by the amount they can contribute or the time of day they can go ahead to throw in their two cents on a topic. This sense of belonging along with effective communications helps communities continue to grow and thrive.

If I decided to create an online community what would happen?
Initial steps would be choosing what that basis will be that would be the reason why your potential community members will want to join. Traction and online traffic can be generated if quality content adhering to the intellectual standards. Patience along with consistently sharing your blog or site will spread work along the world wide web to attract more people to help you shape your community. You will gain members that will fuel the content of your posts and over time it will be a joint effort that will steer itself. Content will be a focal point that has to be maintained but it will generate a starting point for people to have interactive discussions.

Remixing Content

I understand “remixing content” to mean incorporating images, sayings and music to bring your post alive by using familiar sounds and sights to interest consumers. In other words, each post has a goal of which is no longer limited to expression through just words. In the “remixing culture” we can utilize all resources to appeal to the persons emotions visually also through pictures, memes and audio. An example of “remixing content” would be a commercial for a cable company who not only uses images of TV shows but of different clips that may pronounce the company name to showcase their creative marketing by using familiar faces.The purpose of the assignment is to recognize the strong presence of “remixed content” rotating in the media and its effectiveness. The key question at the heart of the assignment is how are we going to utilize this new-found knowledge to convey our own messages to our desired audience?

What is spreading your ideas with social media? This is using different outlets on social networks to convey your idea whether it is through blog posts as we are doing now to YouTube even a Facebook post.

These three articles briefly touch on fake news, bias and propaganda fueled news funneled out to the unsuspecting masses. Beginning with the first article by the New York Times , on the influence of reoccurring false content funneled continuously on popular social media platforms that are supposedly generated by a flawed algorithm. The rapid pace of the distribution of false information often times “outruns fact-checkers” in this platform which has resulted in mass production of false news. The focus was primarily on the flaws of social media whilst my second choice reflected on the evident bias displayed in widely known broadcasting stations and their anchors . Lastly, the work of a writer who has become the prime example of the lack of intellectual thinkers/readers we have in society who often fall prey to lies. Just amazes me how he was able to publish a dishonest article that influenced a legislature to propose a bill based solely on lies and not facts. This source however is d...
