Teaching Blogging In Journalism Classes
from the whether-they-like-it-or-not dept
I know the blogfolks have been talking about this all week, but this is the first article I've seen discussing this in detail. It seems that Berkeley's journalism school will have a class on blogging this fall. So, while everyone is debating the "is blogging journalism?" question, it seems that Berkeley has answered it for itself. People seem to have a mixed opinion on it. Some people think it shows blogging's coming of age - others think it's a waste of time. Personally, I'm not convinced anyone really needs a class to figure out how to blog.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
