After reading James Cerbie's draft of his research paper, it has become apparent that his is nearly my antithesis. His paper swoons over the benefits of Blogs, even going so far as to say that Blogs are a good source of Investigative Journalism. I'm sorry, but where did this come from? When was the last time any of us saw a blog that UNCOVERED a huge news story?
Does anybody out there know a good teacher here to interview concerning blogs and politics. I know I want to look in the political science department, but I was just wondering who out there may know the most on the subject?
I already have some good sources, but I have been wondering whether or not I should interview someone from the political science department to get their take on blogs as a news source in politics? What do you all think?
After searching for the past several weeks for a legitimate topic, Professor Miller and myself concluded that writing about blogs would be the best option. My ideas so far are to either look at blogs as a legitimate source of investigative journalism, to look at the effects of blogs on politics and see where it takes me, or discuss how to determine the legitimacy of a blog. My question is where should I start and where should I go to find some solid information?
