You might want to make a clearer case for the connection to digital journalism specifically and the issues raised in our class, which I might see as critiquing the "news-you-can-use" format that is so often forwarded to other readers (at least based on studies of sites like the NY Times).Liz Loshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17230805040911517976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063709171678249658.post-71166067834338974662012-05-25T12:18:55.097-07:002012-05-25T12:18:55.097-07:00I think satire is a great way to approach the disc...I think satire is a great way to approach the disconnect between the ideals of American culture and what really happens in the culture. It let's one see that there are flaws with the way people think by exaggerating how irrational and ridiculous some people are. Sometimes we need to see the other side before buying into whatever culture tells us to consume. Satire is just an indirect method of delivery. If it were serious and direct, I don't think people would want to believe anything different, because it's like an attack on their identity. I wouldn't want to hear someone talking negatively about the actions that I do, sometimes even if it is the truth.Vannie Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042173775911181244noreply@blogger.com
