W10D5 Group Discussion Group discussions are designed for you to interact with your peers about the material you are learning in class. It is important that you answer the questions based on evidence from the course and outside information. Take some time to research and explore before composing your answers. Be sure to look carefully at the attached rubric for group discussion expectations. This week's question:
● Do you think political cartoons are a useful or harmful tool? Explain your response. ● How effective was/is yellow journalism? Do you believe this is a fair way of reporting, why or why not? ● Where do you see examples of yellow journalism today?
Classmate’s post: K, Close: I think political cartoons can be both harmful and useful. They are useful for raising awareness to political issues. They can also be harmful if people use them to spread political rumors or untrue facts. Yellow journalism is when you post a side of a conflict or event with exaggerated or showy features to get more attention from readers. Because of this reason Yellow journalism can be very effective. yellow journalism can be either positive or negative depending on what its about. You can see many examples of yellow journalism today either in the press or social media. People will write and post their perspectives and struggles with exaggerations and biased feelings which someone will most definitely contradict in some way.
R, Anthony I think they are a useful tool because they can be used to help solve a problem. I think it was effective because it showed the people's perspective. You see it in the news and on Facebook were people will post or say something that they do like or don't like.
