Title: Widening Broadband’s Reach (Image included with article)

Summary: An image by David Rooney of the OECD Observer that is spot-on for my topic, rural broadband expansion. It is an image of a lifeless computer with cattle instead of connectivity.
Topic: Should the Obama administration make it a priority to increase broadband access nationwide?

Support: This image is just a cute little illustration, there isn’t really any support for it.

Audience and Agenda:
The OECD Observer is an academic journal that has a circulation of 20,000 readers. Its emphasis is on the analysis of “world economic, social, and environmental issues.”

Usefulness:
This is a cool image, and it just went really well with my topic. It isn’t particularly profound or useful, but it communicated a simple point well.
