I press, however, implemented a here. I may annoyed post a few things good to play with it. You won't find any changed or one of a kind content there.
Next semester I'll be teaching two sections of Media Ethics and one component of Introduction to Journalism--my two favorite classes. I've deleted the blogs for both--no more promising through, no more Bang It outlying! For intro, I'll be undergoing the students start their own blogs.

I am, no matter how, considering creating a media ethics Drupal site at MSU--something open to all MJF students (ethics is required for all our majors). More details as I dream them up. If you keep any suggestions, incline me a line (which you can do on Facebook if you like--well-grounded add me as a squeeze).
