Analytical article paper due on NOVEMBER 24th.
Discussion of media coverage of elections.
Nikkie -said that during this election she felt that a lot of people based their opinions on the atack adds, rather than the facts. A lot of the actual issues got discussed during the debates and not a lot of people watched the debates.
Katie -said that when Obama did that 1/2 hour ad he got a little negative spin in regards to being elitist in thinking that he could take everyone's prime time tv shows over. But at the same time she thinks that given the demographic of people he was trying to reach...these people aren't going to be watching CNN or NBC and this was his one time to jump in on programs that they really would watch.
Doc-coverage this year was a lot more issue oriented than he remembered it from 2000 or 2004...especially after the stock market tanked and got everyone's attention.
Becky -said that after the debates the polls never really shifted so she didn't think that the debates made that big of a difference.
Katie -said that they are gatekeepers they don't tell you what to think...but they do tell you what to think about.
