I’ve been experimenting with several writing/reporting projects, the most recent is requiring my news ethics and responsibility class to write op eds about their communities and the sources that they use to know what’s going on in their communities as well as staying on top of important local, city, state, national and international issues.
It’s been an interesting learning experience for me, and will be influencing my writing/reporting classes in the future. The project, Who Needs Newspapers?, can be found in the Newspapers Dying? No Big Deal to These Students.

There’s been a lot of whining and sighing about the demise of print newspapers. No tears shed here. Â They ignored the Oracles warning of the Darwinian consequences if they didn’t clean up their act. The same fate should befall those journalism programs that don’t engage their students in real-world journalism.
The digital journalism tsunami is here, has been here and is continuing for those who don’t know. But you wouldn’t know that in light of the undergraduate journalism curriculum at certain higher ed institutions. Students are posting on CNN’s iReport, including one of mine whose uploads get special treatment. There are other sites gobbling up the potential as soon as it appears.
