The Critical Badger is a unique project which combines the commentary of one University of Wisconsin-Madison student with an academic study on the use and techniques of modern blogs. In approaching this project, I decided to start a blog due to my interest in local and campus affairs, along with what I felt was a declining quality of local discourse on important issues. After approaching Dr. Michael Xenos of the Communication Arts Department at UW-Madison, he agreed to serve as an advisor for this project.
I will be commenting several times a week on local subjects, analyze media coverage of various events, and will provide unique interviews from the people who make headlines around Madison. This commentary will help to promote alternative information for “mainstream” media outlets to use in developing stories and to spread knowledge throughout the blogosphere.
