Ok, I have some books thats I'm going to look through for my part of the presentation:

For Marshall Mcluhan I'll reread the article in our textbook and some stuff out of his book "Understanding Media". There is another article in the new media reader titled "the medium is the message" which is in "Understanding Media", so I'll read through the book a little more for some elaboration.

I also have some books on the politics with one specifically on corporate control of media and how people are challenging it. It is called "Our media, not theirs." I have a few other books specifically on media control which I will look through as well.

I think I should be ok checking over these texts to show the theoretical side of new media (specifically the internet) and how it challenges other media forms (tv, radio, etc.). As far as corporate control of media goes I will show how the internet and specifically blogs are a major alternative to this. Hopefully this will cover the theory and politics/economics of mass media and the internet. I haven't delved into any texts so far except for "Our media, not theirs". I will post again when I can read all of the texts and make a more coherent structure of how I will organize my section of the project.

Have a good thanksgiving,
Chris
