Hi everyone;
I really enjoyed our wide ranging discussions today. It’s remarkable how many issues are media related, and the extent to which many of the controversies and debates are media-related in some way. My hope in this course is to raise lots of questions for you; that you can keep thinking about over the next several years.
Someone asked about the blog posts/responses: these are meant to be short, semi-informal responses to the readings–there is no need to summarize them, instead, take up a point that interests you and pursue it, or ask some questions, or raise some doubts. Please don’t hesitate to ask me if you want to make sure you are on the right track. Everyone should have done at least one by Monday, and I will let you know if you need to change what you’re doing. Also, feel free to respond to others’ blog posts–the idea is for you to communicate with each other, in addition to me.
Here is a link to the slide shows from today.
Here is the list of groups for your group projects, and the headlines. I’ll give you some time to work on these tomorrow.
