Cheshire Patch

I learned a lot of interesting facts about Leslie Hutchinson. She determines what is news worthy by going around town and asking cops and residents about what is going on  in their community. She mentioned that she uses twitter for finding resources and receiving news quickly. As editor of Cheshire Patch, she carefully evaluates what she and others write. I agree that watching the debates without social media is useless. I found people's thoughts on Twitter during the debate were extremely humorous, but also helpful to use social media. Other people's points of view and ideas allow you to generate your own personal beliefs. It is boring to not interact with others during the debates because it is being watched by millions of people in America. When writing with technology, Hutchinson makes sure there are no biases, well to a certain extent. She mentioned that if she wrote 7 sentences about the Republican Party, she would also write 7 sentences about the Democratic Party. She gave us  a good tip...you can tell is something is an opinion piece by looking at the adjectives the writer used. I didn't understand why she was not able to tell us how many viewers Cheshire Patch gets each day. I think Hutchinson demonstrated how fast social media updates.
