HARRIS University of New Hampshire May 2018 Department of Communication 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research and writing of this paper has been an exciting and enjoyable process, in large part due to the people who made it possible. First and foremost I would like to thank my faculty mentor, Professor Michael Soha, for bringing his guidance and wealth of knowledge, not to mention enthusiasm, to this process. The idea for this project first came about in Professor Soha’s Spring 2016 Media and Politics course and he has been an avid supporter ever since.
