Blog Post #8 – November 5^th – due November 6^th by 5 p.m.

For this post, imagine that your audience is the citizenry of Portland, including politicos, policymakers, stakeholders, business owners, and everyone else you can think up. It is time to turn to policy. In class on November 5^th, we read NYC Digital: NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment. Now that you had the opportunity to think through and critique the ideas in this document together in class, you will need to find a policy document from Portland related to your research area. (NOTE: Prof. Gieseking will help narrow your search with links to Portland policy documents). First, link the policy document and describe what you found therein. Then, drawing from at least two of the October and November readings and the NYC Digital report, where can the ideas you have been developing throughout the class fit into the policy as it now stands for Portland? Convince the people of Portland of your ideas.
