Mr Jenkins Goes To Washington

I mentioned this to one of my tutorial groups the other day, but I think it's useful for everyone.

Prof Henry Jenkins, who has come up once or twice in this paper, and probably in others, was asked to speak before Congress about violence in videogames in the aftermath of the Columbine shooting.

This piece has been published elsewhere, but is luckily available free online:

It's a fascinating piece, both on the way that the US political system works, and also in the way he constructs his argument. Well worth the read.
