How can I find a blogger or journalist who specializes in the effects of social media?

Question From User - Answers in Comments.

Do you know a blogger or journalist who specializes in the effects of social media, who would be interested in a case study?

I'm working with Leah Larson, a young girl (and the only minor) who is one of FIVE finalists (chosen from over 10,000 entries) in Wells Fargo's "Someday Stories" contest.

Leah founded a magazine for girls, by girls, with international subscriber-ship when she was 13 years old. She's now 17, and has just been accepted for distribution at the (bricks and mortar) Barnes & Noble stores. Of all the contestants (who, other than Leah, are adults), Leah is the one with the business plan and the proven successful model.

The grand prize of $100,000 will be awarded based on the number of votes on the official website by November 10th.

Already, it's clear that the contestants who best utilize social media are far in the lead, and it's a neck-and-neck horse race.

This would make an excellent case study for the growing impact of social media.
