A survey was handed out to the subject pool, and the researcher was able to collect 95 responses to the survey, which were all male participants. In order to find out the results of the 95 responses come check out my poster. Babiak, Anna- “How Propaganda Causes Media Bias” (poster session) Media bias is a phenomenon that has plagued our country’s perception of news by providing falsehoods as credible information. Propaganda is also relevant in today’s political climate due to its impact on persuading a reader or viewer’s insight on an issue. The goal of this project is to inform on media bias and propaganda as well as explain how propaganda can lead to media bias. I also wish to expose misinformation in credible news sources while reviving the public's trust in the media once again. My audience is targeted for young journalists entering the field. Baker, Evan- “Damming and Dredging Effects on Natural Riverways” ( session 6A) Damming riverways has been practiced for various reasons such as agricultural advances and hydroelectricity. While beneficial to humans, ecosystems are adversely impacted by these changes in rivers. One of the biggest concerns is a fish's ability to pass through the dams to their breeding grounds. Without this access, there is a possibility of extinction to several migratory fish. Struggling fish populations can be also attributed to natural systems being disrupted by human interference, such as the loss of macro and micro ecosystems because of the riverway alteration. Combating these problems starts with advocating against damming and dredging of natural waterways. Baughman, Raven- “The Different Actions and Feelings from the Soldiers and Decision-Makers Through The Vietnam War” (session 2A) The Vietnam War brought many issues to the air and showed the effect of war on the soldiers. While the war was going on, the views between the decision-makers and the soldiers were somewhat different. Soldiers did not want to be there, and many were there because of the draft.
