joel Last week, during the intense heat of the Erie cop YouTube controversy, we asked if there was any circumstance where you felt that the video should be taken down. 80% of respondents said, no, that it was a matter of free speech, while only 14 % said that there could be a circumstance that would precipitate its removal.
However, commenter max perhaps had the best point, that is sometimes missed by folks like elder law enforcement and old-media holdouts, that the viral nature of social media like YouTube made the whole question moot. One a post is out there, it is duplicated, modified, and distributed in such a way that it makes it impossible to track.
This week I’m throwing caution to the wind and asking a bodacious question: Who is the most influential person in Erie media. I’m including “the usual suspects,” but if you have other people you would like to nominate, just throw them in the comments or tweet @pressandtower and I’ll update the poll.
Because of that fact, I’m going to open up the voting so that you can answer more than once, in case a name appears later in the week that you wish to vote for. However, the polling software limits you to three votes total.
