Thanks to Laura Thomas, who clued me into the snow feature on WordPress. It’s a little silly, but I like it. What you can do online continues to amaze and fascinate me.
The chaotic state of journalism means it will be a tough job market for our grads this spring and for those former students who have been caught up in newsroom layoffs. But there are some silver linings. Creighton students generally aren’t slackers — they work hard, they participate on the student newspaper, they get internship experience. And we’re trying to help them master a wide range of Web and multimedia skills.

Roger Ebert’s masterful skewering of newspaper’s role in culture and the decline of newspapers made me want to cheer. Newspapers, of course, are part of a larger media landscape. I’m not sure we can turn back this tide, but it seems as if we must. The dumbing down of everything, the seeming willingness of news organizations everywhere to assume readers won’t notice the lack of quality. Are we fostering tiny attention spans by assuming all can be told in briefs?
