The political advertisement on West Wing was a great introduction to how political campaigns and candidates are using new media and social media to show their political stance to the audience. They are not only getting out the message, but they are also rallying up as many people to vote as possible. The West Wing video brings together a lot of issues facing us when thinking about new media and politics. Facebook, Twitter, email, etc… affects the political news we receive everyday and our decision on what party and candidate to vote for.
New media and politics use new/social media to get out their messages, rally people to vote and get their points across #MUNieman #loweclass
"It made me nostalgic of the West Wing." @herbertlowe on clip shown at the beginning of the lecture #loweclass #munieman
Lowe: "I'd really love the West Wing to take on social media," as he whispers to the crowd. #munieman #loweclass
Ugochukwu: "It made me think about partisanship." Referencing the nonpartisan section of ballots which was in the video #munieman #loweclass
Ugochukwu: "Voting straight party line, that's what we do now. We don't even talk about the other parties that exist." #loweclass #munieman
Regarding partisanship, I agree that people are much more public about it and able to communicate through social media. #MUNieman #loweclass

Really useful for pedagogy too. MT @laurenfklein: Read @silverasm's analysis of hum scholars' reading behavior: http://mininghumanities.com/2012/10/09/how-do-you-read-survey/
Also, just realized that @silverasm's survey assumes that note-taking is being done on computer, not in longhand. I'm about half and half.
@ncecire Actually no assumptions -- "copying and pasting" was a poor choice of phrase in retrospect. I know it's often done on paper too
@silverasm Right, but tagging and keyword search assumes computer.
@silverasm By the way, we talked about WordSeer during #THATCamp Theory! Lots of people were excited about it.
@silverasm I loved your post on reading practices--might use it for teaching sometime.
@ncecire Still can't shake the feeling that half of what I found is obvious stuff that everyone knows... but which half?
@silverasm Calling attn to what's obvious is important too. I take notes on the computer and by hand. I didn't quite realize until yr post
@ncecire totally. So where do you think visualizations fit in, then?
@silverasm ...that I do both as if I were always writing longhand. Often take notes in .txt, make lists, etc.
@ncecire re: "as if longhand" because there's no really great note-taking solution out there although Scrivener might convince me otherwise
@silverasm Well... they don't really, for me. But I often draw diagrams for myself. This is one advantage of longhand.
@ncecire one of the english phd's I interviewed spent hours manually making lists of word frequencies. That would be a "visualization".
@silverasm Never word frequencies for me (don't believe in it), but lists of quotations and references to an idea or linguistic form, e.g.
@ncecire you've made lists of those?
@ncecire yes you have, sorry. I meant frequency counts.
@silverasm Not counts; I don't care about frequency. I care about finding the examples again!
@ncecire do you worry that you've missed something in your lists? Lit scholars tend not to worry about that b/c they read so thoroughly
@silverasm No, I don't worry about that. We don't use evidence by finding all of it; we choose the most interesting and explicate it.
@silverasm Quantity is not persuasive; quality (not in the sense of goodness but in the sense of qualitativeness, aboutness) is.

"Are you," she stuttered, "Vance McGriff, P.I.?"
She knew the answer. My name was on the door.
"In the flesh, " I said. "What brings you here during this storm?"
The spark of loss and grief in her eyes let me know that she hadn't lost just any milk. He husband had certainly fled with a fresh jug of Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz. No other beverage can quench so deep, and leave such scars of remorse and longing.
"Dry your eyes, dollface. Why don't you go and open up the Frigidaire next to the stove?"
Her face went from sullen to sunny faster than a parochial school kid fleeing the wrath of a Sister with a ruler.

That was years ago, but I can still see her opening that brand new jug. Ahhhh!
