Welcome to J395!

Hi all,

This blog would serve as the platform for us to exchange great ideas in J395!

A few things to do here:

1. Respond to readings

Please post a short response to assigned readings (by 5 p.m. the day before we discuss the readings in class).

The purpose is to make sure you read the readings as well as to provoke analytical/critical/creative thinking on issues to be discussed in class.

You should first read through the assigned readings and then share your thoughts/questions/examples with us. If you have an online example, please include the link in your post.

Please label your posts using both "readings" and "your screen name" (please be consistent).

2. Before Wednesday, please share with us three websites where we may find relevant news/ information about the particular new media industries/technologies you are interested in.

Thank you!

(If you have questions on blogging, we'll figure things out on Wednesday.)
