Question

what should your role be in the group discussion you will host on the impact of social media on news and peoples perspectives of the news and how it is delivered?
liaison
facilitator
recorder
timekeeper

Explanation:

To determine the appropriate role for hosting a group discussion on the impact of social media on news and people’s perspectives of news, we analyze each option:

• liaison: Typically involves connecting different groups or entities, not directly related to facilitating a discussion.
• facilitator: A facilitator’s role is to guide a group discussion, ensure participation, manage the flow, and help the group achieve its objectives—this aligns with hosting a discussion on a specific topic.
• recorder: Focuses on documenting the discussion, not leading or facilitating it.
• timekeeper: Manages time during the discussion but does not lead or guide the content of the discussion.

Since the goal is to host the discussion (guide it, ensure it stays on topic, and helps the group explore the theme), the facilitator role is the most appropriate.
