September 28-October 5, 2008 Wrap Up
October 5, 2008 3:00 p.m.
Although there was still great emphasis on the financial crisis at the beginning of the week, much more focus turned on the vice presidential debate. Now, the majority of articles are not focusing on Obama and McCain; they are discussing Biden and Palin. In the most recent articles Republicans were framed to be constantly "attacking" the Democratic Party, Obama's character in particular. This is the first time I have viewed highly negative articles in regards to Palin since beginning my observation. My family members have been discussing the financial crisis and bailout. When making phonathon calls last week for West Virginia Wesleyan, I actually had an alumni use the current economic status as an excuse to not make a contribution.
Again, no major strides in determining USA Today's party preference. This week Obama was presented more favorably.
