First thing first thing you need to send me As soon as possible
Tell me via email which blog or podcast or Twitter account you are following. Name of the blog or podcast or Twitter account, web address or Twitter handle, and the author or authors.
First part of the assignment
Give me a 2- or 3-page type-written paper (submitted electronically by midnight on October 17th) that gives:

the author or authors (including any professional affiliations they have).
Page 1 of 9
• A preliminary list of 2 blog entries or podcasts (for Twitter accounts, they need to be blog entries that came from the Twitter accounts OR substantive multi-part Tweets OR Tweets from a conversation between the author and others), including for each entry/podcast the title and the URL and the date for the entry/podcast or twitter conversation/thread/Tweetstorm.
• ALSO, a 3-4 sentence summary (in your own words) of what the entry is about which
includes a 1-sentence descriiption of the economic concept(s) illustrated in the entry
for each of the 2 entries.
• A one-paragraph initial descriiption (not an evaluation) of the blog/podcast/Twitter account and its writer (or writers). Who is doing the writing? What general topics do they seem to write about? Do they tell us why they are doing this writing? Do not just cut and paste from their website, look at what they have written about and spend a little time thinking about it, and put it in your own words.
• This entire submission should NOT exceed 3-4 pages. See below for the requirements on naming the paper, font size, spacing, etc.
•
Last part of the assignment
Upload your final overall analysis evaluating the blog or podcast or Twitter account and the entries you have chosen, which includes:
• A title page with your name and SID, the name of the blog or podcast or Twitter account, the web address or Twitter handle, and the author or authors (including any professional affiliations they have).
• A list of FIVE (5) blog/podcast/twitter entries, including for each entry the title, and a 3-4 sentence summary (in your own words) of what the entry is about, and the URL AND the date for the entry. (The 5 entries would normally include the 2 entries from your March 4th entry above.)
• Pick ONE (hopefully insightful and interesting) blog entry or podcast or multi-part Tweet or Twitter conversation/thread, and describe it in more detail (1-2 pages). What was the topic of the blog entry, and why did you think it worthwhile to describe it (interesting, relevant, insightful, wrong economically)? What economic concept or concepts are illustrated in the blog entry? How are they related to concepts we have learned in this class? What kind of reaction did this entry get? How many comments were posted to this blog, and where they positive? (Did others reply to the Tweet/blog/podcast entry, was it retweeted, was it favorited by anyone, was it picked up and referenced by any other blogs or podcasts or internet sites, or did anyone tweet about it?) What do you think about the economics of the entry, was it insightful, was it good economic analysis or is there something about it that looks wrong to you? Why?

• Give a 2-3 page overview of the blog/podcast/twitter account, as noted in the evaluation rubric found at the end of this PDF. Note that this is not a major research essay, so do not go nuts with external research. However, you should touch on the following (see the rubric for more details):
Economic themes; the writer(s) political/economic beliefs; reach or influence of the
blog/podcast or the tweeter; quality of the tweeter/blogger/podcaster’s writing/exposition.
• Total: 6-9 pages plus any references you use (IF you use them). DO NOT exceed 10 pages, or you will lose marks.
• NOTE: your writing does not have to be pristine, I am looking for coherent thoughts and analysis more than perfect sentences. This is NOT an English 100 essay! I will not mark for grammar and spelling, unless your paper becomes incoherent. However, please take the time to reread and rewrite it at least once! BUT, part of your grade depends on coherent sentences/paragraphs and good arguments. Check for spelling/grammar (use a spellcheck), check the logic/flow of your paragraphs and sections.
• Take a look at Section C of the How to Succeed in Economics 202 webpage for help in writing AND in properly referencing the paper..
• Do NOT fiddle with the double spacing or the margins or the font sizes to make your paper larger or smaller. Use 11-12 point font (I have 64-year old eyes, no smaller font), 1 inch margins, and use 1.5 spacing.
