It is that time again. The not so sweet smell of politics is in the air. With the very important election coming up, I am going to hear Dr. Toni Marzotto speak at the Towson Library at 2 pm on September 27th. She is a professor of Political Science at Towson University and she will be my main source of information at this event. She will be discussing why it is important to vote and what we should be thinking about when we vote. There are big changes coming and it is crucial to be well-informed before voting.
Questions might come to me as I listen, but some that I have in mind include:
- For many of us this is the first major election in which we can vote, is there anything specific we should keep in mind about the process?
- As a Journalism and New Media major, in your opinion, how has the media impacted this election so far?
- "What Your Vote Means." Many people think their vote doesn't matter. If you could tell one of these people one thing to convince them otherwise, what would it be?
While at the lecture, I will look for signs to see if Dr. Marzotto swings to either side of the political spectrum. I will also pay close attention to the audience's reactions. There are people, who I can contact with questions listed in the Daily Digest. This event should make for an appealing story.

Good story idea. Be sure to talk to a variety of sources, though. The speaker will be your main source, but you'll want to allow extra time afterwards to talk to audience members.
