Active Audience Subsection 1- Content Creators

According to Sprout Social, Brands and Media Platforms are doing all they can to have content creators that are highly liked by the public. The key reason is because an active audience is needed to keep users actively interested in wanting to return to the application, and the best way to keep an active audience is by incentivizing  users with money to create interesting content. This is where the term 'content creator' comes from, and they are crucial for opening the door to important discussions on social media. An example of this can viewed by Kerry Smith, a Content Strategist for Twitter's content creator network. She states that 

"Creators are well positioned to lend a human voice, personality, perspective and expertise to a brand. They can facilitate conversations that otherwise would not have happened.”

Psychology study on Fear Appeal

"Sixty years of fear appeal research: Current state of the evidence" This journal study gives an in-depth study of fear appeal theory including how it works in marketing and health settings, theories that contradict, and how to assess it effectively.  Abstract:  "Following a brief overview of the use of fear arousal in health education practice and the structure of effective fear appeals according to two main theoretical frameworks—protection motivation theory and the extended parallel process model—the findings of six meta-analytic studies in the effectiveness of fear appeals are summarized."

For example, the introduction of health warnings on cigarette packages in 2002 was accompanied by wide-scale media attention on television, radio and in newspapers throughout Europe.

Assignment B Claim

For Assignment B, I've decided on the hypothesis that cable news networks use fear-inducing stories to gain more media attraction, but at the cost of their viewer's mental health; especially in women above the age of 30. I worked this into the claim below: Claim :  "Women above the age of 30 have increased mental stress when watching cable news due to its fear-inducing segments. " Media Dependency theory is used by media outlets as a tool to attract and keep high viewership. A key element of Media Dependency theory surrounds the idea that feeling like you are in a state of crisis leads a person to be more reliant on mass media for information.  Prototype :  I am still ideating the prototype I will use however I do know that I will be measuring Fear in this experiment, which I would need to somehow obtain from viewers of cable news.  In addition, I would need to figure out which cable news channels to choose from. I am considering just looking up who has the highest v...

 Project B Part A: I will attach two articles in this one post because they are conceptually similar, with one pertaining to augmented reality being utilized in a museum setting, while the other refers to using projection mapping in a similar matter.  The Museum of Tomorrow: Using 3D Gaming and Projection Mapping to Create the Next Generation of History Museum Exhibits -By Jeffrey L. De Boer in 2015 Summary: Jeffery believes that our current/newest generations process information in newer ways and Museums aren't utilizing the latest technologies to teach this specified group of people. In his words, he wanted to propose innovative entertainment-based approaches to history-museum-exhibits by utilizing video game software, hardware, and cutting-edge projection mapping techniques. He emphasizes in his research his interest in using projection design. He notes that museums do use this idea, but there is no interactivity with the viewers. He continues to list a process which h...
