Finding our comm at 9 am

Very interesting! As you imagine, based on the title of the video, this is a survey. The results were self-reported and it explicitly dealt with people’s attributes, behaviours, and opinions. - Jason

Great find, Jason! Though this deals with people's behaviors and opinions, the claims they make are generally frequencies. We generally conduct content analyses on traditional media but in this case this is a content analysis of dating apps. They state in the beginning of the video that they observed interactions found on the site. This indicates that it was not a survey or a self-reported phenomenon but rather content they found on the app. This makes sense it terms of searching for realistic answers because how many people would admit to being more or less picky or only wanting to date people of a certain ethnicities only. This is a great one for differentiating content analysis and surveys, and demonstrating how content analyses could refer to people not just tv shows! - Nicole

Hi Comm 1ers!

Welcome to our Tumblr, our virtual world to share our thoughts, gifs, clips and pretty much anything we can relate to the concepts we’re discovering in this course.

I thought I’d have the pleasure of  starting us off, but please feel free to go ahead and start posting! Perhaps we can start with, share your favorite reaction gif!  When you post, share your name at the end either as a tag or just at the bottom of the post!
