Preparation for 10/14: Appealing to Empathy and Reason

Folks, we're following the syllabus and reading as usual -- another excerpt from Rettberg's Blogging, as well as shorter essays by Donald Lazere and Ed Corbett and Rosa Eberly. However, for anyone who might like a sneak preview of some (more) hypermediated arguments we will be discussing and/or to review the ones we discussed last class, here are relevant links:

• RSA's Animation of Evgeny Morozov's <"The Internet in Society"> (this is also inside our folder marked "Photo Essays" in Bb "Cases and Genres") 
• Various "Resolutions" in our Bb "Cases and Genres"
• Jason Parham's <"It's Time We Treat Police Brutality as a National Crisis"> on gawker.com (this is also inside our folder marked "Case Study #2" in Bb "Cases and Genres")
• Sharon Daniel's <"Public Secrets">
• Paul Shoebridge and Michael Simon's <"Pinepoint Revisited">

See you next class,

-Prof. Graban
