Your blog should also contain examples of media stories that give credibility to your position. You can choose from one of the issues discussed in class as the foundation for your overall idea (gate keeping, objectivity, fair representation, constructing social reality) or you can pitch your own. (please approve with Professor).

Please include a world graphic or image in your blog that supports or represents the issue you are talking about.
