Blogs for the Semester

Newspaper students: After observing the class the past few weeks, I have decided that I am going to reintroduce the blog. Too much time is being wasted and as a result, I believe that many of you would benefit from having something to work on when you are finished with the other activities. Those that have been here last semester know how to do this, but those that are new will need some help getting their blogs together. Just within the last year, blogs have been taking politics by storm. Journalism class reflects many opinions, but some of them cannot be put into print due to the school policies. There are few rules for the blog, but the ones that are there are very important.

1. No profanity on the blog
2. No inappropriate content (sexual, etc.)
3. Do NOT put any personal information on the blog (this is a public website and so anyone could read the information that you post)
4. You should make a minimum of 2 posts on your blog a week. (These should be about issues that are relevant to you and can be found in the news or other media sources)
5. You should make at least one comment on each of the others blogs each week
6. Inappropriate comments will not be tolerated
