The website I chose for this assignment was from the Political Archives section of this site. I decided to pick from those, because I know they are reputable and contain a wide array of material. The websites name is IdentityTheory.com and it is a literary online magazine that covers subjects from celebrity interviews, to political articles and even activists media. It has several different kinds of blogs on it that cover topics from current up and coming musicians to hot button social justice issues. I selected this site because I enjoy the way it combines entertainment news alongside informative media projects and political topics. It is a place of creative expression, which is such a key component for so many activists out there, to be able to express themselves and their beliefs through an art form. This site seems to highlight those kinds of people which I find to be extremely admirable. This is the type of site that would likely have begun releasing many of the AIDS Activist videos discussed in the readings, as they release personal content from individuals all the time through music, film and especially blogs. Those videos from individuals with AIDS would be an ideal fit for this sites personalized content. I hope in the future even more websites and media platforms can combine the things we enjoy through entertainment with the things we fight for on a highly personal and spiritual level.
