Earlier this year, I submitted it to the Western Social Science Assoc.’s 2010 Student Paper Competition and received honorable mention.)

And the British PM was also one of the first major politicians to have a Twitter channel. Would love to see your paper on Globalized IT!

I wish more professors would follow your lead and post their knowledge/thoughts online. As a poli-sci/film double major undergrad(over on the east coast), I found this site very relevant to my areas of studies. The combination of politics and media/techology is right up my alley. In fact, I just completed a 50pg term paper yesterday entitled “Globalized IT: Assessing Information Technology’s Affect on State Power.” (It is a very, very interesting topic.) Personally, you might be interested in the new methods of interest articulation the the US fed. govt. is implementing on websites such as America.gov. You can “webchat” with various govt. officials and leaders in society about current issues (at a set date and time, of course). Also, (and you might already be aware of this) British PM Gordon Brown has his own Youtbube channel through which he takes questions/addresses the people.

Concerning the topic of this particular post, Media Matters posted a few interesting pieces.

Mike is home sick today with fever and sore throat, congestion.
