You'll be learning a lot this semester. Much of it will be fun and interesting, but it will also be hard work.
This semester you'll learn print journalism in the first half of the semester and then switch professors and learn broadcast journalism for the remainder. Since we'll be setting a fast pace we'll use this blog to discuss things we didn't get time to talk much about in class. You can post things you want your classmates to read, or respond to what I've posted.
Along the right side of this blog you'll find useful links to Web sites.
One of the best sites for discussions about this changing, endlessly fascinating profession you aspire to is the Romenesko blog. Romenesko is an aggregator. That means he rarely posts his own writing, but he does us all a great favor by providing headlines and links to stories about the news media. Check it out.
Your first assignment is to write your own obituary. Obituaries can be fascinating when they reveal something about a person's character. Here's a great example of one for a "gonzo street photographer."
