Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This essay won or received an honorable mention for The Boothe Prize for excellence in first-year writing. The Boothe Prize recognizes and rewards outstanding expository and argumentative writing by undergraduate students in the first-year Writing and Rhetoric classes, Integrated Learning Environments, and Thinking Matters programs. In each award-winning essay, student writers demonstrate clarity of argument, excellent integration of research-based evidence, and compelling prose style. Through an analysis of the push notifications sent out by news organizations and their intended versus unintended effects, Roxy Bonafont presents an argument against the value of these alerts on readers' engagement and awareness.
