Hello class. Good work today, the examples you gave were right on and I'm looking forward to the semester. To refresh, the three major topics covered in lecture today were;
1) What communication scholars have in common
2) Types of questions we ask
3) Different epistemology
Following is a question that I would like you to comment on. Please respond by posting a comment.
We discussed today that science should be free of bias or objective. Do you think this can ever be achieved? Why or why not?

Hey class,
I forgot to mention, you do not need to create a blogger account to leave a comment. Just click on the comment button, then click anonymous. In your text, leave your name (Jeffrey) so I can tell who is participating.
Hi this whole blog thing is sorta new to me. Anyway, I don't think we will ever see a day that the media can be totally objective because others opinions are what gives style to the writing. Also they would have to change some goals of writers/publishers.(Kayla)
- On a different subject I vote that our Midterm is on Wed. July 5th because Mondays can be the worst days of the week.
I do not think that science can ever be free of bias. People surround themselves with ideas and concepts similiar to their own. Also, scientists likely do studies that they think will produce results congruent with their own ideas. (Emily Casane)
I also think that it would be extremely hard for the media to be totally objective. Of course as media professionals we should strive to maintain objectivity during a story or a study, but it is a challenge to keep preconceived notions and ideas out of our research. (Jamie Stubler)
