Sietsema, Robert. "Everyone Eats." Journal of Public Relations Research 48.5 (2010): 42-46. Communication and Mass Media Complete. Jan/Feb. 2011.
This article is about the drastic change in the way restaurants are critiqued. The process started with one man and a limited number of restaurants with a standard process for giving the readers the truth about the service and food of each. Throughout the duration of the article the author names a number of critics that continued to alter the original system of reviewing. The system eventually defied the principles originated by Claiborne and became a commercial franchise.
The topic of the article in my opinion does not directly relate to journalism research, but the material within the article relates instead. The critic that created the rating system, Claiborne, was a New York Times columnist and so were the rest of the people who came after him and changed the system. The author did research on the timeline of the restaurant reviewing system. The change went from a section of the newspaper to magazines and internet blogs. He also had to do research on the change in the way restaurants adapted to being critiqued. In the beginning restaurants went from not knowing they were being reviewed to hosting special dinners for the bloggers.
