In this online blog project you are being asked to search the web for information related to the continuing crisis in Syria. I would like you to look at sources of media surrounding the conflict from all over the world to see how Syria, 'the Middle East', democracy, etc are/were being portrayed. What can we learn about Syria from this coverage? What can we learn about those who are writing about Syria from this coverage? In other words, how is media-even global media-place based? You will need to do 3 posts over 3 weeks. If it makes sense to you you can structure your posts to look at the lead up to the election as your first original post, the election itself (including the alleged irregularities, counting of ballots and candidate responses) as your second post, and the protests and aftermath of the election as your third post. You can also just jump into whatever aspect excites you the most--this is YOUR blog.
