Notes from Andrew's comments re: Iran paper

Literature needs more sources, but less information. Focus on the conclusions. Draw atention to relationships between power and sources (Chomsky?). Check Kothari's paper - possible other works as well.

Focus on what this study means for the myth of journalism, and the myth of social media, that it can subvert traditional power structures. Hegemonic control of meaning.

Restructure into themes - traditonal sourcing, social media as the story, alternative voices,metajournalism

Reference origins of typologies, claim ownership

Look again at graphs, charts.

Keep thinking about the argument - that journalists lie about their own practice, that they are still within traditional power structure.

Fiurther study planned.
