Blogging the Ballot: A textual analysis of Blogwatch.ph and how it<br /> covered the campaign period of the 2010 Philippine National Elections, Unpublished<br /> Undergraduate Thesis, University of the Philippines Diliman College of Mass<br /> Communication.<br /> <br /> This thesis is a textual analysis of Blog Watch, a citizen journalism website<br /> established by citizen journalists or bloggers to monitor the 2010 Philippine national<br /> elections. Citizen journalism is a steadily growing phenomenon that empowers ordinary<br /> citizens to shape the opinion of the masses. As such, this thesis sought to find out how<br /> citizen journalists operate when faced with current issues by determining the intrinsic<br /> factors which influenced the content of their articles written during the campaign period,<br /> the dominant topics which they discussed, and the messages they tried to convey.<br /> From textual analysis of 49 out of 135 articles (36%) published between February<br /> 9 to May 9, 2010 using the answers from the focus interview of the bloggers and the<br /> application of the theories presented in this study, the researcher found out that the<br /> personal background, professional background, personal beliefs and values, professional<br /> roles and ethics, and power within the organization of the bloggers affect what topics are<br /> dominant in their articles, such as voter’s education and the profile of a certain<br /> presidential candidate. In conclusion, the messages conveyed by the articles are affected<br /> by the intrinsic factors of the bloggers more than anything else.<br /> <br /> Keywords: blogging, 2010 national elections, blogwatch.ph<br /> <br /> View Thesis [[Image:BloggingtheBallotATextualAnalysisofBlogwatch.phandHowitCoveredthe2010PhilippineNationalElections.pdf]]<br /> <br /> [[Categy:CMC Thesis]][[Department of Journalism Thesis]][[Category:Thesis--Journalism]][[Category:Thesis--Blogging]]</div>
