I may talk a bit about this blog post next class.  It's a good example of a post that links to several academic articles.  I could use it to provide a model of how to find the general debate about a topic through blog post links.

For those of you interested in environmental policy, the WRI has an event on 1/22 that might be worth attending:

Hint: A good place to start to discover the public conversation about an issue is ProQuest.  It indexes the major newspapers.
