Hopefully you follow the news in some format. If not, here's my friendly suggestion to start watching the news, listening to a radio news show, or checking out some credible news websites while in this class.
What stories have been in the news lately that you believe should NOT have been covered. In other words, what crossed the lines and should be considered unethical in your opinion.
Be sure to respond in complete sentences and to answer by Thursday.

Welcome to a New School Year!
Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year! I'm excited that to get to know the new faces in the class and to reunited with my returning yearbook students.
This is our class blog that we'll be using to "discuss" various class and journalism related issues. Be sure to bookmark the address on your computer or write down the address in a safe place. You'll use it frequently.
Here's the ground rules for the blog.
1. Set up your account so that your name (first name and last initial is enough) shows when you enter a comment. Grades will not be given to anomyous posts.
2. Enter your comment on time. A deadline is a deadline. The only exceptions will be when your absent.
3. Even though this is online writing, use correct, standard English. I expect complete sentences with punctuation, correct spelling and grammar.
4. Read the comments that others leave after I approve them. Many times I'll ask you to respond to someone's comment.
5. Respect the ideas and opinions of others.
With that being said, please respond to this question in the comments section. What was the most comical moment from your summer break? For me, it was watching my mother-in-law's three hour attempt to make coffee over an open flame while on a camping trip. :)
Due Date: Beginning of class on Friday, August 20.
