A survey conducted by Cision and Don Bates of The George Washington University’s Master’s Degree Program in Strategic Public Relations found that an overwhelming majority of reporters and editors now depend on social media sources when researching their stories. Among the journalists surveyed, 89% said they turn to blogs for story research, 65% to social media sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn, and 52% to microblogging services such as Twitter. The survey also found that 61% use Wikipedia, the popular online encyclopedia.

Bates commented that 


David Plouffe visited campus a few days ago, and the GW Hatchet just wrote a great article on the event:

MTV just posted an article to their website about Obama's One Year, in which our Former Dean, Christopher Arterton plays a big role: 

Dr. Chris Arterton, former dean of George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management, said one thing he's noticed a year into Obama's administration is that the political intensity is fully on the Republican side, versus last year, when it was on the Democratic side thanks to the enthusiasm of young people supporting a candidate who was an inspiring outsider. "In the policy realm, the past 365 days have served to intensely anger people on the conservative side, who feel he's been conducting a socialist experiment with public policies," Arterton said. "That has energized the [conservative] base and helped recruit money and volunteers."
