Digital Literacy Continued

This is a continuation of our previous post regarding information literacy. Websites and news organizations make money from advertising when we view their content. There are three important distinctions for you to know:
  1. Native Advertising - advertising that tries to sell or promote a product disguised as a news story
  2. Traditional Advertising - most common advertising that sells or promotes a product 
  3. News story - real content containing factual information about a subject and independent of bias and should answer, who, what, when and how
For this post take a look at the following two website banners and answer this question:

Which are these an example of: native advertising, traditional advertising or a news story and why?

  2. These are both News Story because they are not really trying to sell or promote an object they are telling a news story. That they want people to read from.

  3. i think the first advertisement is a native advertisement because it doesn't give off the basis information for it to give a new's advertisement feeling. I think the second advertisement is the more of a news advertisement because it answers the questions who, what, when, how, why.

  4. I think they are both new stories because neither of them is trying to sell a product. They are telling information about a subject and independent of bias and can answer, who, what, when and how.

  6. I believe the news article is the banner about almonds. I think it is because it is going to state facts on why they should stop growing almonds in California. The naive advertising is " The Real Reasons Women Don't Go Into Tech" because it is a opinion and not a fact. The traditional article is the stanford article because it shows how an article is made and the structure of any article.

  8. The first banner is "native advertising" because it's title and information is trying to promote why this issue has come to be. The second banner is "traditional advertising" because it says 'Sponsored Content' and it is kind of promoting a reasoning for women not going into tech.

  10. I think that these are more likely to be news stories because the are not advertising any products to buy.

  11. I think the first one is Native Advertising and the second one is the news stories. Because the first one more likely to try to sell as a new story. And the second one is the real new story.
