I’m also hoping that if you think anyone is missing from my list please let me know. I’ve averaged each user’s Klout and Tweetlevel scores. The last column is whether or not the user discusses the future of the news every day or not, if they do not regularly talk about it, I will have to pull them off my list = which is unfortunate because it means that someone like @cshirky will not be on the list. Obviously I will still use his stuff in my thesis but just not as part of my data set.

Please feel free to let me know what you think so far!

Thanks.

***edit: I’m having problems putting the excel table into html so I’ve attached it as a pdf but the names, without the data, are:

Here is a copy of a research paper I wrote for my directed study last semester – this is my first time opening up my scholarly work to anyone outside of my profs, friends and parents so please be somewhat gentle. That’s not to say that I don’t want your impressions and ideas – far from it – I’d love to hear what you think about my arguments, how you think I can improve the existing arguments, what you think I was crazy for leaving out etc … just try not to make me cry!

And of course I didn’t write this without help – thanks to my stable of editors/tormentors: Ellen, Mom, Dad, Dave and Steve! It wouldn’t be anywhere near as lucid without you guys!

Thanks,

Caitlin
