The content is first-rate here, but potentially you might expand on your views of how illuminating you think the 47% comment was for giving voters an insight into what kind of a leader Romney might be or his true views, and that might enhance the original content to the post. A counterargument might be that this was a single comment that was blown out of proportion, or that it was accurate to say there were a large group of voters who would never vote for Romney, so maybe you can discuss further why you think it was so important Prouty made this public. But overall, a very solid and effectively written post. jenniferhopper86https://www.blogger.com/profile/02020012616794650474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7598153085714703059.post-53065734282632310362013-03-23T00:24:38.794-04:002013-03-23T00:24:38.794-04:00I found this post really interesting in that I lea...I found this post really interesting in that I learned more about the man behind the releasing of Romney's infamous "47%" comments. Also I found the content on point in the way it connected to class conversation about citizen journalism. Using this real life example actually helped drill the concept more into my brain and made it easier to grasp. You do an excellent job at connecting this story to the concept of citizen journalism, but I'd really like to see a more in depth analysis of what you think this means for the public and how citizen journalists are changing the way media and politics are run. Great visuals too.Emma Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780876062674008027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7598153085714703059.post-33584799959006167252013-03-20T12:10:04.751-04:002013-03-20T12:10:04.751-04:00George,

The only thing I would change is possibly putting the paragraph: "Today, we find ourselves in an age of sleepless media consumption..." at the top of the post. I would start with that and explain why there is citizen journalism now and its effects (broadly) from what we learned in class. Then go into Scott Prouty. But keeping it the way it is now also draws readers in quickly as blogs should. So, if you did leave the format as is, I would just explain why there are more citizen journalists now and their role more effectively once you introduce that point in the second to last paragraph.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03200636200890478627noreply@blogger.com
