New Media Plan

New Media Plan – BYUSA Elections

Persuasive Intent and Audience: My blog this semester will focus on the BYUSA elections. My audience is basically anyone and everyone who will take the time to read my blog--I think it's an important topic for anyone at BYU to be more informed about. But my target audience that I want to persuade is those that love and cherish BYUSA elections. Or those that just approve of them without thinking.

The overall persuasive intent of the blog is to convince readers that BYUSA elections are rather pointless and a waste of time and money.

Blog Name: BYUSA Elections


Blog Site: http://byusaelections.blogspot.com/


Frequency: I plan to post every Friday. This is my best day for good thinking and writing time. I will try to post early in the day so people can read it before the weekend if they want to.


Post Number Date to Post Plan for post
1-Feb.5 Maiden post--introduction of myself and explanation of the blog and of the points I want to prove. Maybe including teasers into future posts.
2-Feb. 12 Defining of key terms, and I'll also tell about my experiences with BYUSA elections.
3-Feb. 19 A response to a main counterargument to my side of the issue.
4-Feb. 26 My enthymeme.
5-Mar. 5 A short history/description of BYUSA
6-Mar. 12 Me arguing the other side.
7-Mar. 19 A rhetorical analysis of a source applicable to my topic
8-Mar. 26 Final planned post: An examination of the benefits/consequences of a world without BYUSA elections


Images: I'd like my blog to have images to accompany its textual assertions. But I don’t know where I find pics of BYUSA elections. I’ll see what I can find, and what I’m allowed to use. Maybe I’ll look into stock photos that depict elections in general.


Length: Between 200 and 400 words. Long enough to make a good point, but not boringly long.


Hyperlinks: I love hyperlinks. I'll link to anything I can think of that's worthy of notice--funny stuff, relevant stuff (meaning I need to keep up to date on related topics and everything in general), etc.


Twitter Integration: My twitter name is @sircakes. I plan to search Twitter for other people who are tweeting about related things. I will also use my twitter account to tweet about my blog.
