Mini-Assignment 11: Best of the Term I
Since I’m still working on my blog I wish I had more posts to choose my “best post” from. Nonetheless, one of my favorite posts was one that I wrote on the development of democracy in Tunisia. I really enjoyed writing this post because it was a follow-up to my first Democracy in the News post.
We started the term at about the same time that the Jasmine revolution began, which was my first Democracy in the News post. Later on in the term, it seemed like we had forgotten about the democracy in the countries we’d discussed during their revolutions so I decided to write about what was happening in Tunisia post-revolution.
I like this post because all too often I get caught up in the big headlines and forget about the important pieces of news that are more low-key. This is why it was interesting to go back and write about Tunisia again, as other countries had become more newsworthy in the last little bit.
Hope you enjoy(ed) my blog!
