Journalism professor: former Palin flack trying to kill birth hoax discussion

Journalism professor: former Palin flack trying to kill birth hoax discussion

Here’s the background.

I’ve written a research paper with the title “Palin, the Press, and the Fake Pregnancy Rumor: Did a Spiral of Silence Shut Down the Story?” I have submitted that paper to the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, with the hope of presenting it at the group’s fall meeting. (Papers go through a judging process.)
