Module 3

 Module 3


  1. Using the NDNU library database typed social media there was too much information, and it was broad, I had to think about what I wanted to study about social media.

  2. Change my search term to bias in social media, and I got these references. Biaswatch: A lightweight system for discovering and tracking topic-sensitive opinion bias in social media. Discovering, assessing, mitigating data bias in social media and web search. Social media news communities: gatekeeping, coverage, and statement bias. Quantifying search bias: investigating sources of bias for political searches in social media. Effects of editorial media bias perception and media trust on the use of traditional, citizen, and social media news. 

  3. If I need to increase the size of my references, I will use google scholar to help me find it, as it is a good search engine to use. 

  4. Still looking for unpublished journals, as of right now I haven't found any unpublished journals.

  5. Looking at the social bias that exists in social media, and how this creates news communities; creating these bubbles, we’re people are unable to have any kind of dialogue with one another, who have a different set of beliefs from them. 

  6. Using google scholar to find specific terms for the NDNU database to find specific articles or books. 

  7. CSA Sociological Abstract, PAIS International, Social Sciences Abstracts

  8. Looked at the databases above, and the other two databases that I have been using already. 

  9. Bias in social media and how politics benefits from this.  

  10. This paper is going to focus on the social bias that has been growing in social media involving politics. Looking at the data that has been gathered thus far, and how it has created these news communities in the process, that are looked into specific bubbles that have created an us VS them mentality(will update this). 

  11. I have a couple of journals that I am going to look at to see the reference list that they have in order to find more work, that could be helpful to me in finding other articles or other journals. 

  12. Found some theoretical articles on my topic… I don’t know if I am going to use them. Will look into them at a later point in time, if I need more information on my topic.

  13. Did not find anything when I typed in review.

  14. Prior field studies have shown that not only do the users place greater trust in highly ranked search results (Pan et al. 2007), but the opinions of undecided voters can be manipulated by biasing the search results about political candidates (Epstein and Robertson 2015).

Research Topic

 As of right now my research topic will have a focus on the media, like, I stated earlier in my conversation with my friend. I want to understand how the media operates in the 21 st century, and why it has changed over the last couple of years, where they decide to sensationalize the news, and not properly fact check their sources. Media, nowadays, worries more about ratings than actual journalism; my goal is to understand that shift in thinking. Though, I think that I have to define what I mean when I say the "media", as their are multiple types of media that we as a culture consume on a daily basis. I want my focus on the media to be about... looking at major news stations like CNN and Fox(will add more news stations).
