Welcome to the Looking Glass
This blog will give you a chance to see what a group of first-year students, and mostly first-time voters, at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota are thinking about the 2008 elections. And it will give these students a chance to present their analysis, their opinions, and their reactions to what they see.
Our special interest is the way that the campaigns are conducted by, in and through the media. And we're interested in how that media landscape has changed and is changing.
We will try to be sceptical without being cynical, satirical without being sarcastic, and amusing without being flippant. And before we overgeneralize and point fingers we will consider the fact that we are, now, the media too.
