Comm

I'm taking three communication classes this semester: Comm 361 - Online Journalism, Comm 352 - News Editing and Comm 454 - Free Speech and Ethics.

My online journalism class is giving me plenty of work to do. My news editing course should more intensive, I think, but much of the class is having the same problems I am.

For our news editing course, the class was broken down into pairs. The teams are then supposed to interview foreign correspondents based here in the United States and get their perspective on news.

Easier said than done.

Out of the three stories my partner Nicole and I should have done, we turned in only one story about a correspondent from Der Spiegel. Needless to say, we're a little behind.

My other communication class, Free Speech and Ethics is very abstract in that the concepts we're learning are not concrete.

Right now, I'm editing my presentation about personal privacy and safety within public demonstrations.

Exciting. I know....

Once I get these medial tasks out of the way, I can work on my final paper for the class which is about the Constitutionality of the Mapplethorpe case back in 1989. It's an interesting topic and I'm very excited about getting it completed.

If I can find the time. Ugh.
