The research article you chose seems very interesting, especially in our
age of digitalization. I wonder how the technology has actually changed
the behaviour of nowadays children, therefore, I will read through this
article for sure.
It is interesting to read about your seminar discussion and that you used the example of the pen to explain the difference between a theory and a hypothesis. I think that a there is no such a thing as a wrong theory, but just a hypothesis that prove out to be wrong. To make sure that it is not just an experimental error like you described, it is probably always advised to compare the hypothesis to practise more than once.

It is obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into your two posts this week. You did a great job by structuring the topics and focussing on the main points of your research paper, the lecture and the seminar. I think the most interesting thing of the comments this week is to read the research articles chosen by every student. The role of Twitter in the Political Campaign seems very contemporary and the integration of social media a development of new media that will just rise in the future. Interesting read!

Thank you for your thoughts this week. Your clear structure of your reflections makes it very easy to get into the topic. Interesting how you worked with the research article and the questions you chose to focus on. I agree with you, I also found the third's week topic harder to get into and to follow. However, you did a great job at summarizing the theme's tasks and describing what you have learnt, in particular that you have to put the validity of theories also in context of the academic discipline. Well done!

Thanks for sharing your insights on this week's theme. I agree with you that social media has developed to a very one-sided tool of profiling. People usually want to get validation constantly. Jumping back to Adorno and Horkheimer for a second and their take on a slow developing superstructure, I wonder what affect this current social media behaviour will have had for instance on the values within our society in a few decades. Let's hope therefore, that the given positive sides of this type of interaction prevail. Regarding your post-reflection, you described the meaning of theory clearly and easily to comprehend. Great job!

Your research paper sounds very interesting. I wonder what results it presented in the end, if they are significant personal and social factors to be representative as a gamer. You take on the research shows that you analysed it in-depth and thought about possible improvements. In general, it is easy to follow your thoughts thanks to your clear writing, emphasized remarks and the visual images you put in your text!

I agree with you and your remarks on this week's topic. Since I generally always put more focus on the practical sides on media, it made it hard for me to get into the texts about theory. However, our group discussion proved to be very interesting – although it is quite hard to pinpoint the term theory that everybody would agree with. Your quote is indeed chosen quite well, since it reflects the meaning of hypothesis in a very crisp way and nevertheless leaves room for reverberation.

Thanks for sharing your well-rounded thoughts on theme 3. Your take on theory and its connection to our previous topics made me think about them once more. Likewise your emphasis on why theory can never be stated as true. A theory has always again been matched by practical experience due to direct and indirect changes surrounding it. Your samples are great to shed light on this 'theoretical' subject and I enjoyed reading your reflections on it. Great job!

Your reflections are as insightful as ever, therefore it was a joy to read them! I felt the same way about this week's theme and the difficulty of defining theory. Your research paper seems to break ground on an uncovered topic, but indeed one that will grow in importance in the following years. Social media has obviously a lot of advantages, however it is interesting to see it from an objective news perspective. Since I also belong to the category of 'news selector', I wonder how this shapes my perspective in the long run. Realistically, I probably miss out on news coverage I would have stumbled on by reading a newspaper, which intends to cover a range of topics for a wider audience. It will be interesting to see how digital journalism will develop further on and moreover, how journalists will keep their integrity.

Thank you for your reflections! You succeeded in explaining the week's main achievements with the help of a clear structure shaping your thoughts. The seminar has evidently accomplished to give more complexity to the subject, for example by touching on the difference between theory and hypothesis.
One statement I found especially fascinating in your chosen research paper is that politicians have yet failed to fulfil the potential of social media. It will be interesting to observe how campaign management will be perfected in the future and which risks lay in social media's power of steering voters to one side. What are your thoughts about this?

I really enjoyed reading your thoughts about this week's theme. Your well-structured texts make it easy to follow and you have plenty of interesting remarks on our subject 'theory'. It seems even difficult for scientists to really specify the term itself. Here, it is interesting to read your reflection on the seminar and how you categorized theory into good and bad.
The topic you chose as research paper is quite interesting. I was not that aware about local news stations being forced to change due to the alteration in broadcasting and how this transformation affects the profession as a journalist. I especially like your sentence "more news does not mean more democracy or a better informed public", since it is really thought provoking. Well done!
