Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1,Discuss the ways in which the Internet has changed news reporting, specifically, that while it provides a lot more news, people are not necessarily more informeddue in part to self-selection.
2,Explain how the Internet has helped change campaigns and elections by facilitating more communication with the public at large, which helps with political mobilization. An appropriate example might be Facebook or the use of political blogs.
3,Discuss how the rise of online sources has made print media less competitive, but also provides the greatest potential for their long-term survival.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Identify two or threeagents of political socialization: family, mass media, and schools.
2,Explain the differences in the process of political socialization for each agent.
3, Note that much of this socialization from the family and the media is informal, where children simply learn by watching and listening to their parents and the media. Schools, however, are rather intentional in socializing students through activities like pledging allegiance to the flag.
