I decided to use a website for me cultural artifact. The website is http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/skat10.shtml. I chose the site because it has an article from the Seattle Post-Inteligencer. The article is a reporting by Rebekah Denn of an annual event for skateboarers. The event invloves skaters of many different skill-levels. The diversity of the event gives it potential to reveal alot about the subculture.
The reporting of the event came from an un-biased source and it aids my interviewee's explanation of the subculture of skateboarding very well. The report corresponds especially well with the aspects of language, diversity, and unity within the subculture. The report surely lacks age discrimination completely; interviews came from people ages 13 to 28. I beleive that considering all these apects it is a good cultural artifact.

You will have A LOT of material to analyze! Great site to pick; I'm sure you'll have no trouble getting the four pages. Any questions along the way, let me know.
