Week 2 Discussion Questions

1. I'm fascinated with the way news media is going (in good and bad instances). How do online news sources automatically "tell" the reader what kind of reputation that the particular news source has? (Ex: CNN, TMZ, BBC)

2. Knowing what trends people use to identify what kind of a book you're buying, for example, is it wise to buck the trend financially? For instance, what if you wrote a children's book that didn't LOOK like a children's book. Would you even be published?

3. As fonts change, how do our attitudes change in society? Why do we hold on to traditional fonts when typing a paper, for example?
