Oh 2. What Journalistic techniques did you find interesting? Is it obvious that the journalist h as done research? How? What techniques could you use in your article?

I find interesting the use of photoes like screenshots as a prove of the stated article. It is obvious that the journalist has done research because they have seen screenshots and people have commented digitally on this topic and they collected all the data to see what is main concept and what is its impact on the people. I can use the screenshots to help understand better the reader, as a source and also I can research on people’s opinions about the argument.

3. Write a general review of what you liked or disliked. Did you learn anything from the article? 

The article is about the social media, like Instagram that is getting rid of likes. I liked the way that the article is written and presented with the photoes and screenshots. I think they should have interviewed more people to get a better understanding of the argument. I learned that they are starting in Canada, it is not certain if they will begin to test in other places. Like many tests, they will have to see an increase in positive interactions and user engagement to expand. If it is successful on Instagram, it could spread to other platforms like Facebook in the hope to create a healthier social media environment for all.
