Blog 5: Planning for Media Paper

For my midterm paper, I've decided to choose Walter Winchell as my topic. I chose this particular person because he invented the gossip column, which has gone through many changes over the years and now an empire has grown around the category of celebrity gossip. This, in my opinion, has influenced mass-media significantly. 

Some sources I will use are :
