a) What is the impact of personalising the news on the self and the community? What are the positive/negative effects?

Personalising the news will cause us to read certain types of news only. This means that we might miss out certain top stories that are happening round the world. We would not be able to get the full idea of what is happening in Singapore or in the other parts of the world. Sometimes, we might only listen to a one-sided piece of news, which could make it unreliable. These are the negative effects in personalising the news. The positive effects of personalising the news is that we are able to read articles that we are interested in the moment we click on the link.

Consider how news is personalised for you. Consider how news is personalised in the news.

Based on what we click on the internet, the internet filters and personalise our search results. Thus the internet gives us what they think we want to see, instead of what we need to see.

b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?
We can read the hardcopy version of the newspaper, instead of the online version. The hardcopy version of Newspapers have a gatekeeper, which makes sure that the news that we receive is standardised and does not contain any bias and remains a neutral perspective.

There are advantages and disadvantages of having the news personalised. I feel that a positive effect of personalising the news is being able to access the news that we are interested in easier and quicker. You would also be more informed about the topic that interests you. However, some may argue that having personalised news is unhealthy and that we would be trapped in a filter bubble, that would be one downside of having personalised news. I think that with personalised news, the pieces of news that we read would only be targeting a certain topic. The viewpoints may be biased and we would not get complete coverage of what is happening in the world. When we read personalised news, we may only think of a particular situation from one point of view and not see the situation form other perspectives. Once media platforms such as, google and youtube, go by your preferences and personalise the news for you, you would constantly be receiving news of certain topics with certain viewpoints, which would not be very well-rounded.

One instance where the news is personalised for me would be when I use the Channel NewsAsia app on my phone. I would usually browse through the news that appears first when I am on the train going home. The news that is shown first would be the personalised news and the topics that I usually read. I think that this would encourage me to read more about a topic of my interest but I would only read about those few topics as I do not have to time to look through the other categories of news.

When we buy The Straits Times newspaper, it is sorted into 5 different sections, The Main section, the Home section, the Life section, the Business section and the classified section. All the different sections have categorised pieces of news. Thus, if a reader wants to local news only, he would go to the Home section and read the news there. This is one example of news being personalised within the news.

b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?

I think living in a filter bubble means that you only read certain topics of news. I think that we can break out of this filter bubble by one, reading news from foreign newspapers such as the New York Times to get different perspectives of news stories all around the world and not have a biased opinion on a situation. Another way that we can break out of our filter filter bubble would be taking the time to read the different sections of the local newspaper, like The Straits Times. For example, if you constantly read the Home section only, you could consider reading more articles in the Business and life sections so that you are exposed to the different news topics and different types of news to break out of our filter bubble.

We might not be able to access important world news. Most of the articles we read will also be of a certain view point.

b) If we live in a filter bubble, how do we break out of the filter bubble.
We can go to sites of other country news and look at their perspective. If we cannot access them from Singapore, we can use VPN or TorBrowser.

a) Personalizing news based on one's interest does not give them the news that are around the world but just based in their own interests, search history. It will not give the user what type of news they they will access because everything will be about the things that you will want to look at, they do not really give you website based on the things there are new to you. We will always look at the same type of news everyday. When you always look at news related to politics, you will seldom receive news about the nature environment.They also give news that are popular, news that many people read. The positive effects is that they will interest you to look at that news and you will also see what people normally want to see based on their popularity. The negative effect is that you will not be able to look at news that are around the world.

Certain news might not reach us, even if it is important as news on the internet is personalised to what we like to read and what we normally read. When I open google on my phone, i see a lot of articles talking about the tv shows that i watch and the latest news on them or what the season finale has to offer. I get articles on Trump and what he's doing in America but they're always from a certain point of view and they all have a personal opinion about him (he's bad, he's good) and the articles are written from a certain biased perspective rather than stating the facts and letting the reader decide. That is because it is personalised to what I like to read as I myself do have a biased opinion about Trump.

If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?

We can start by reading other types of news and looking for things we don't normally look for. If we want to find out more there are always ways to, it's very simple in this age of technology, we just have to know what we want, and we can search for it. If we don't want something, why would we look for it?  If we want to break out of our filter bubble, we can, but some people don't mind.

The negative effects of personalising the news on self and community is that you will never know what other people who live outsideyour community are going through or you will never be able to learn of new things or have more
interests. You will always see thing in the same way and perspective, resulting in you being narrow minded. The positive thing is that it will be more convenient for you to access the news that you always like. Your news is personalised by the community you live in and based on what you search up or what sites you access on a daily basis.
b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?
When searching up for something, read all of the stuff that are on the pages further back too and not just stick to reading the first page. you can change the country setting so that stuff that you read about can be from all around the world instead of just from where you are. When using youtube or something, use the app logged out so that the recommended videos would not only be coming from what you usually watch on a daily basis. You can try going to sites that provide information from all over the world, about everything so that you will read about more than your own interests.

The negative effects of personalising news on self and community will cause us not to receive more important news around the world, and limits our view and perspectives of the world since we stay within those few topics. We might not know what is happening around us. If we don't keep up with the news it will affect us in terms of work/discussion topics etc.
Positive effects is that we can focus on one topic and can quickly find out about it in depths. We would be really familiar about particular news about the region.
News I read is more personalised within Singapore since I only read Singapore news. News in news are more personalised towards its country since they gets most of their information.
b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?
We can try to read news of other language from other parts of the world to find out more about their views/perspectives. We could also try new news websites of different locations to widen our range of world news

What is the impact of personalising news on the self and the community?
The impact of personalising news for myself is that it would limit the type of news and information that I access, which can have both a positive and negative effect.

The impact of personalising news on the community is that it could limit what information the community receives and the perspectives of the information, impacting their view to be more biased towards on side.
What are the negative/positive effects?
The negative effect of personalising the news for myself would limit the type of information I access, (eg. about different locations, different people). This may cause me to miss out on certain updates and issues that may be important, as well as limiting the amount of information I get about the world in general. This may also lead us to becoming narrow-minded or biased towards certain perspectives or views.

The positive effect of being able to personalise news is that it will allow us to quickly access and receive updates about the topics we are interested in or that may be more relevant to us. It can also help to filter out harmful sites or also partisan sites that have overly biased opinions.

This limits the information I'm accessing to. I feel that having a personalized news would not necessarily be all true and sometimes because we are so upset with this person that we completely leave out some details and only write down the bad things that they had done. I feel that personalized news would be okay to certain groups of people because they equally agree to you, then there is some who would be very upset because they believe the other side of the story, then there is the people who stays in the middle and compare to confirm both sides of the story. I feel that it might actually be a little negative because this might cause unnecessary fights with strangers online like to be honest it's time consuming to always think of a comeback in order to beat the other person down.

b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?
We should look at both sides of the story and compare with other people who also have different versions of the story.

A positive impact of personalising news is being able to quickly access the type of news or the topics that we want to read/that might be more relevant to us. Another positive impact is being able to stay away from certain harmful websites. A negative impact is that we might not be able to access other perspectives and we might end up becoming very narrow-minded, and we might also have biased views. Furthermore, we might not be able to to be exposed to other important information, and this causes us to miss out on some useful things.

b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?
We can break out of this filter bubble by removing our location settings so that we can get to access news from all over the world. We can also look at sources that offer a different type of news from the types/topics that we usually read. For example, if we usually read entertainment news, we can try reading world news.

# data[].attributes.body
a) What is the impact of personalising the news in the self and the community?
What are the positive/negative effects?
Consider how news is personalised for you.
The impact of personalising the news in the self and the community will cause everyone to not have a view of everything as they will only have a limited types of news that they read and care about. For example, if one is only interested in local news, he will not have the interest to read news reports about foreign affairs.
The positive impact is that the people will not need to spend much time trying to find the news they are interested in but the negative impact is that everybody could only not enlarge their field of knowledge.
I think the news are personalised to the usual searches that one makes and also the type of news that one usually read about.

b) If we live in a filter bubble, how do we break out of the filter bubble.
We can try to read news that we do not usually read. We can also follow accounts and watch videos that I might not be usually interested in. I can also read newspapers from other countries so that I am also aware about affairs in foreign countries.

# data[].attributes.body
a) The pros of personalising news is that it is more convenient for us to search for the news we are interested to read. However, if we continue to personalise the news and live in a filter bubble, we may be oblivious to what is happening outside the filter bubble and we might only have one perspective of the world around us. We will only know about the things that are relevant in our space and community but not about the things outside of it. This can make us develop certain assumptions. For example, if poverty is not necessarily an important part in my country, then it does not exist, which is not true.

b) we can break out of the filter bubble by exploring other sources of information that are reliable as well. We should not always stick to the same source of news or information as that source might only give us specific types of news. Instead of only reading about the things going on in Singapore, we can search up articles about other countries in the world. We can change our location service so that we would be receiving news from all areas of the world.
We can explore news sources like BBC News which provide us with international news.
Other than location wise, we can also try to read past certain sections of the newspaper. For example, if we only read the Sports section of the newspaper, we can try reading World or the part about politics and we might end up developing in interest we never knew we had since we stayed in a filter bubble all this while.

When the news is personalised, one might not get news that is out of what they usually read, which is a negative effect. A positive side to that is that the person will be more willing to read the news, something that they are interested in. News is personalised for me in a way that what I usually search on the internet is limited, and I usually ignore the news articles unless they are actually interesting.
It can also be personalised by what I have liked on social media, types of accounts I follow, mainly my interests.

b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?

We can do so by scrolling past the first page of results on the internet, changing location services such that one can read news out of the country. We can also willingly read other news and share news with each other.

Personalization has both pros and cons to it. A person who personalizes his/her own news is able to read the news of their choice, and read up on subjects which they have an interest in. This may encourage them to read the news more often because what they are reading is what they are interested in. Hence, they may be more aware of what is happening in the world. Personalization could also give the person the ability to choose their news sources. For example, someone could choose to follow a verified account which has a reputation of giving reliable and true news instead of following a news account which may not be as reliable. However, this may result in them living in a filter bubble, as they may only read the news which show up on their feed, and may not bother to read other news. Hence, the information that they receive might not be very well-rounded.

For me, news is personalized based on the accounts which I follow on social media. This allows me to choose what kind of content that I want on my feed.

News articles may contain tags which briefly shows what the article may be about. These tags could be used to personalize one's news. The more a person searches up a certain tag, the more the news with that certain tag may appear on their feed. Another way of personalizing news could be through the accounts which a person follows on social media.

b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?
I suppose that we may live in a filter bubble. We could break out of this filter bubble by going to various news sites from other countries, where their perspectives may be different from ours, or where the types of news that they report may be different. We could also break out of our filter bubble by socializing with people from different background, and people which may have different views from us.

The positive impact of personalising the news for ourself is that we would be interested in what we are reading. This way they would not lose interest in reading and would be curious to read more. However when they only read whatever they want to read, they would not read other news that they do not want to read. This way they would not know all types of news. The news that is personalised for me is based on which sites i follow.
b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?
If we live in a filter bubble, we can break out of that filter bubble by reading all the news no matter whether we like it or dislike it. We should focus on reading news that we do not really like.  We should also read news from other parts of the world.

The positive effects is that you can be easily updated about your particular interests. However, if you read only your interests, you might not get major news that are aside from your interests. Like Newspaper, how they are split in different sections like home, sports, business, etc. Some might choose to see news from one section only and miss out some news from another section.

b) if we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?
We can read global news and all kinds of news to keep us updated on the current affairs, like business for example.

News can be personalised according to our location and search history etc. By adjusting our settings accordingly, we are able to have more convenient access to topics that interest us, which saves us the time of searching up these content manually. This allows us to save more time. However, this also means that we will have less exposure to other topics due to possible limitations. This might result in the formation of views that are biased towards a certain party because of insufficient understanding of the topic in question.

b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?

We can make the effort to personalise our settings such that we are able to gain greater exposure. For example, we could change our location settings from Singapore to other countries around the world so as to gain awareness of the happenings in other countries. Instead of simply reading local news, we could visit the news websites of other countries so as to expand our knowledge of global affairs.

# data[].attributes.body
a) News is personalised by our interests, location, web history etc. When news is personalised, the person who reads that type of news will stay reading that kind of news and thus they don't really read up on other kinds of news and only the type of news they read since the browser will help to feed them news they are interested in.  For example, a students always searches articles on their idols, the search optimisation on the browser will keep 'feeding' the student news about her idol and she will keep only reading that type of news and will not be exposed to any other types of news. When that happens, she will be less informed about things happening in other areas. However, personalised news is definitely more appealing to everyone as they get to read something that is in their interest zone. It is also easily accessible and more fun for the reader since it interests them.  This then encourages them to keep reading content they like and keep them happy and occupied.

To break out of the filter bubble, we can make an effort to explore other areas and perspectives. We should not just read up on the articles we are interested in but also news we don't really read often or are exposed to. Once we do this, our search engine and browser will also then optimise our feeds to suit what we read and in time, our feeds will be filled with  variety of different news and hence, we will also break out of our filter bubble.

The news that we receive can be personalised based on our location, search and web history etc. The negative effect is that this can restrict us to the news that we read, causing us to live in a filter bubble and only read the news that shows up on our feed. . However, it is also positive because the news may appeal more to us and we may be interested to find out more about it, thus encouraging us to read the news more often.

b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?

We can break out of the filter bubble by scrolling past what shows up on the first page and we can change our setting to off our location and search history, so that we can be exposed to more kinds of news,  which we may later find more interesting. We should not narrow it down to a section of the news that appeals to us. To break out of the filter bubble, we also have to be open to more types of news and not only stick to the news that we have interest in.

Personalisation of news may lead to  limitation or a one-sided view of something. thus, the person is unable to break out of his filter bubble. This is a negative consequence of personalising news.
News include opinions of both partys, hence the news acts as a neutral ground for the third party to understand other's opinions.
Also, if the reader only reads local news and not what is happening around the world, he is ignorant of the events happening around him and he is a hermit living in his own shell.

We may not have knowledge on what is going on outside due to the restrictions that personalised news has as we only see news related to our interests, location, etc. For example, if we want to know about news around the world, personalised news will limit us only to news in Singapore. However, personalised news will also filter out articles that we are not interested in.

For me, the news I read from official news websites like Straits Times is personalised by interest level (if a piece of news is interesting to me or not) while on Instagram, it is personalised by what I liked.

Personalising news will cause you to have limited knowledge as you will only know news in this certain area you are in or based on your interests. People should not just stick to news they are interested in as that would not allow them to have knowledge of a variety of news. Furthermores, we need to know more about what is happening in the outside world rather than just our state, country, or continent.  However, the positive effects are that we would get to know more about the place we are in if we are overseas which would definitely benefit us.

b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?
We can make use of websites from other countries or news feeds that include news form other countries like the New York Times, BBC News etc.

By personalising news for myself, I am limiting myself to the amount and types of news I'm exposing myself to. This is a negative effect of personalising news as only reading the topics that we are interested in limits our mindset and knowledge of certain issues the rest of the world are facing. For example, if we are only interested in reading about things happening in a local context, we would not know what else is happening around the world and would not even know who Donald Trump is. Then, we will not realise how severe some issues might be in other parts of the world and how scandalous and desperate people might be to commit bad acts.

To break out of our filter bubble, we can read through more than one section of our local newspapers as other sections do offer news about other countries. If we are reading something online, we should not just narrow our search to just a certain topic but instead, sort the news according to the latest date they are published.

# data[].attributes.body
a) Personalising news can be both good and bad. When you personalise news, you can read news that you're interested in or that may affect you. When you live in Singapore, the piece of news that you may be interested in is likely relating to Singapore or the areas around. Personalised news also save time because you do not need to choose your news anymore. Also, when you 'like' someone's perspective, you have almost the same moral values as the, and you think alike. However, personalised news can also be bad since when you only read the news that you like, i.e., from only one perspective, you may be led into thinking things that are not right, accurate or you may not get to see a piece of news at all, because it may be banned from this publisher. News can shape morals and way of living, so news and other influences are important.

b) One way to break out of a filter bubble is to meet new people who have different perspective as you, so they will recommend different pieces of news for you. Or the person can get news from different sources which have different perspectives so that they can use their sense of right and wrong to figure out their perspective on the matter.

By personalising the news, we are actually enclosing ourselves in our own filter bubble. We have the power to choose what our media diet should be, and thus we will always tend to read our preferred ‘genre’ of news. This will result in our own self being unable to break out of our filter bubble and only knowing about what articles he/she has just read. If an entire community reads news from a certain news publisher, they might read news that are written only in one perspective and they might not be able to think differently about a certain issue.

News is personalised for me using the previous sites that I have accessed, the posts that I liked, and the location I am in (country/region). News might also be personalised by the journalist, as the article might be written from only one perspective.

b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?

If we really want to break out of the filter bubble, we need to be flexible and read all types of news (inclusive of news that are appealing and not appealing to us). We can also try to read from different news sources, as they might discuss about a certain topic in a different light. We can also change our location services to different countries. By doing so, we can successfully break out of the filter bubble, and also maintain a balanced media diet.

The positive side of personalised news is that the reader will be able to read the news that they are interested in more quickly without having to scroll through so many pages for it. However personalised news also have a negative impact as the reader will not be able to know what else is happening around the worked, creating a filter bubble. News are personalised for us by using the data on the contents of the sites we visit the most often and are most interested in. News are personalised in the news when the editor decides which news are suitable to be included in the news.

The positive impact of personalising the news is that you will be very knowledgeable in that particular aspect or topic. The negative impact of personalising the news is you will only know news that revolves around the topic you like, but not other pieces of news that might be more recent or important. For example, if you only read news about schools merging etc, you will not know about the mroe current issues at hand, such as the bomb cyclone in US or the Falkholt family crash in Australia etc.

News is personalised for me by my location (IP Address), web and search history, and my interests.
News is personalised in the news through the categories they fall into. For example, the sponsorships and advertisements would be grouped together, while the foreign news and the local news would be grouped together respectively.

If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?

We live in a filter bubble where the news that we hear and are aware of are those that affect us on a daily basis. For example, news that the bus fare has increased or that there is no school the next day due to public holiday would be news that we would be notified of.
We can break out of the filter bubble by trying to red news from other countries. What I mean by this is read news from foreign countries.

a) What is the impact of personalising the news on the self and the community? What are the positive/negative effects?

Personalising the news for myself would limit the variety of information that I access. This would cause me to miss out other issues that could be important to know and also limit me from gaining more knowledge about the world.

Personalising the news for the community would limit the community from being exposed to information in another community and thus could also limit the perspective of the news read by the community.

News is personalised to my interests and the type of news I usually search for. News in news  is personalised so that people would be interested to read them or find out about it.

b) If we live in a filter bubble? How do we break out of the filter bubble?

We can break out of the filter bubble by choosing more reliable sources that have a more balance news from different countries. We can also try to not only read a certain section of the news but the different types of news from the different sections.

What is the impact of personalising the news on the self and the community? What are the positive/negative effects?
Personalising news for myself causes me to limit the type of news that I am being exposed to. However, by personalising the news for myself, it is a lot easier to find the type of news that I normally seach for. When a lot of people do the same thing by only reading what they like/choose to read, then other news would get neglected. This would cause the limitations on the amount of news that we read and know off.

For me, news is personalised by my interests. For example, I do not really like reading news about the politics as I find them quite boring. In the news, some journalists choose to omit the perspectives of certain people when interviewing people. They only choose to write news that have the most impact on people. This limits the perspectives to the same piece of news. News are also categorised in some newspapers such as The Straits Times. Sometimes, this might have caused some readers like me to skip certain parts of the newspaper and just focus on reading what we like.

If we live in a filter bubble, how do we break out of the filter bubble?
We break out of the filter bubble by choosing to read newspapers from different countries such as BBC or The Washington Times. Also, we could also try to read other sections of The Straits Times, such as Home or the Sports section instead of just the main paper.
