The end/future of newspapers… maybe

I found this on Bryan Murley’s blog and couldn’t resist posting it to mine as well. I’m not sure whether to laugh/cry.

Why I’m a fan of Facebook

New York Times columnist David Carr explains it quite well. As a professor, I find it’s a way to keep connected with students, though I stay on my profile page and just read the news feeds. I’m not sure I want to see everything students post to each other.

I had my own Facebook milestone: I used the Events to coordinate the annual Creightonian Open. It seemed to work really well with everyone on Facebook and I did invite others. I also took photos and posted them on the event page. So, it’s a multimedia world out there. I’m diving in.

What a great story this is. Never underestimate the power of communication, no matter how it’s done.

It’s laugh or cry

This Ad Age media studies quiz is terrific. Very funny. And yet, how much of it is satire and how much is true? or will be true?

A message for journalism students too

It has been hard this summer to watch/read of layoffs, problems. We knew this was going to happen. But that doesn’t make it any easier. I believe strongly in the need for news and for information. The skills/critical thinking/writing ability that journalists have are valuable.

I’m not surprised, of course. But still, Yikes.

I’m sure this column will be spread far and wide on the blogosphere. I’m glad for my own little piece of the sphere if these benefits are true.

A variation on man bites dog

It’s the season for commencement speeches and I like to troll around looking for them because many are good. This one dovetails perfectly with what I’ve been teaching and reading about. I will use some of Leman’s comments in my own classes. Credited, of course.

Twitter and breaking news

carolzuegner — Thu, 22 May 2008 22:32:31 +0000

I find myself posting a lot about Twitter because it interests me. Amy G.’s post about this shows what people can find out/learn without relying on mainstream media.

Political reporter talks about his craft

carolzuegner — Wed, 21 May 2008 17:49:52 +0000

I have always loved “Boys on The Bus” and hearing other stories about the way journalists cover politics. This speech by a Washington Post political reporter gives me hope too.
