The electronic text I’m going to do my writing project on is CNN’s Political ticker. I’m choosing to use this text because I am interested in politics and people’s opinions about politics and this site allows one to experience both. I enjoy reading, but I often like to read small amounts of text that gets straight to the point instead of long drawn out essays or stories that dance around the point for many pages before finally coming to a conclusion. This is the reason I find CNN’s Political Ticker inviting, it is a series of short news articles where average people are allowed to post their ideas and beliefs, responding to the article. I believe that this text would be a good text to use for this project because it brings up issues that Birket’s feels is important such as private reading, and the legitimacy of text.
