How would you characterize the site and print paper's audience-who is the "public" Shelley and her writers are producing this publication for?
-This site is an informative site giving opinions on food in the Columbus area. The audience for the Columbus Crave would be well-set people who can go out anytime and try new foods.
What particular challenges might arise when writing for a local audience?
-It can be difficult to judge what people would like to eat. Every person has different taste buds, so it could be difficult telling everyone what they should eat. Also, if you critisize a particular restaurant, you might offend the Columbus community. It's also difficult to find all these new and delicious foods around the Columbus area.
I feel that this would be a very difficult job to uphold. As y'all stated, the fact that everyone has different taste buds would be very difficult to alert them of what is new and good or new and "bad." I know that there are many foods out there that I don't like and if I couldn't come up with a creative way of describing the entrees, meals, or courses, then I would more than likely hut someone's feelings. I wouldn't do it on purpose of course, but you have to be able to appeal to thousands of people when you have a job as this. You can't just go and claim something to be disgusting when someone else out there might really love it. You have to find a way to make it appealing to different people such as if you don't like spinach then you might not like this entree at such in such restaurant.
