Blogs were once the outlet of choice for people who wanted to express themselves online. But with the rise of sites like Facebook and Twitter, they are losing their allure for many people – particularly the younger generation. — Verne G. Kopytof, NYT, February 21.
Blogging’s soaring popularity reminded me of the mass appeal of Citizen Band Radio when it was hot. Everyone had a handle. T.B. Knight was my moniker. After a while the sizzle faded. The amateurs had had enough. And the airwave returned to the highway cops and the truckers who were using it before its mass appeal.

— From Jonathan Mena:
The Presidential race for the White House has become the most watched and anticipated election in the world.
All eyes will be on America come this November as recent polls show that the race will be a neck-and-neck battle. This election will be history in the making and the WORD will be there to report thanks in large part to New America Media, NAM, a national collaboration and advocate for over 2000 ethnic news organizations, The Ford Foundation, which provided a grant for a multimedia ethnic reporting project that includes the WORD and of course Professor Gregg Morris who is a master at knowing what buttons to push to get a job done.

Three students who have been involved with my multimedia ethnic news reporting project funded by the FORD Foundation have received press credentials to report on the Democratic National Convention. New America Media helped with the press credentials and some funding for transportation and lodging. The College also promised financial help through the President’s 2008-2009 Student Engagement fund and I have a few bucks left from a FORD Foundation grant to contribute. And the students are kicking in some bucks also.
The three are Kisha Alllision,  Jacqueline Fernandez and Jonathan Mena. Allison and Mena reported on the New Hampshire Primaries. The three will be joining seven professional journalists.
Expect more postings on their direct involvement in this impending historical event.
