Nice synthesis of the readings with your experience. By the way when I clicked on the link for your new page, I was re-directed to the Homosexuality in China page. You might want to ask about that in the discussion page for that article.

There are also services that enable you to put ads in feeds (I will show an example in class - I didn’t tell you guys about those and you weren’t expected to know about feed ads independently). Also, you mention that feeds bring challenges to journalists but you didn’t specify - how do you think the existence of feeds will change the way journalists work?
