Response to classmates blog: Rachel Porter

Rachel,

        I thought you had an nice and thoughtful response to binary models and conglomeration. I totally agree with you when you said one binary model that would be affected are elitists and populists. Elitists are more concerned about the message they are trying to convey, while populists are more concerned about their audience. Conglomeration is when a large company buys smaller companies. As you said if a populist company buys a elitist company, their content will be modified and it does depend on how the company handles the situation. I really like how you gave an example at the end of your response, this gives readers outside of our journalism 1 class a little more of understanding of binary models and conglomeration.
