Don’t Forget: Class Trip on Friday

Hi all –

Don’t forget, we’re departing from in front of the Fine Arts Center at 8 a.m. SHARP Friday! Please dress in appropriate business casual (ie: no t-shirts/baseball caps/ripped jeans.)

See you there!

Thanks,

Steve

 

Blog discussion #2

Hi all –

The Washington Post recently ran a story looking at an FOIA battle in the suburbs of Virginia.  What are your thoughts on this?  What kind of reporting was required here?  What’s the document trail?  Does this give you a sense of some of the requirements needed to be an investigative journalist?

Please weigh in on the comments board here by the start of class on Tuesday.

Hi all –

Please read the analysis by Poynter of the news coverage surrounding Yale University quarterback Patrick Witt and weigh in with your thoughts on which news organization, if any, acted responsibly.  Why?  Why not?

Wednesday’s Field Trip to Springfield

Ok, looks like we’re good to go for tomorrow’s trip – let’s plan on meeting at the circle at the front gate of the Springfield Technical Community College at around 8:30 — your back pack should include:  camera, voice recorders, pens, pads.  We’ll likely be driving to different locations and getting out but I will pass along more information later.
