It looks as though some of you missed the news quiz yesterday. I reopened it until Monday night. If you have trouble taking it, let me know.
I am going through your scores this weekend. Once I've done the math I will let all of you know where you are at in the class. I will also post direction for the final month. I'm working on it today and with the goal of posting this evening.

Are modern news organizations replaying the partisan era?
Kind of interesting. Keith Olbermann of MSNBC gets suspended indefinitely and then returns to work a few days later for making campaign donations to a trio of Democratic candidates just before the Nov. 2 elections.
I like Olbermann, but he has been a harsh critic of Fox News and many of the channel's hosts for doing exactly the same thing.
This critic thinks Olbermann made a mistake.
If you're not familiar with the story, here's some background.

New Powerpoint review is ready
I have posted a review Powerpoint on Chapter 7, New Media. We will have the usual 10-question quiz on Friday.
Since we got sidetracked by quiz issues earlier in the semester, here's a revised schedule for the remaining weeks.
Nov. 1
Unit 7 – New Media Landscape
Nov. 8
Unit 8 – News
Nov. 15
Unit 9 – Media Economics
Nov. 22
Thanksgiving Week, eat turkey and review
Nov. 29
Unit 10 – Public relations/advertising
Dec. 6
Unit 11 –Ethics and Media Law
Dec. 13
Final review
Also, we have another paper on the syllabus, but I've decided to make that optional. In other words, if you would like to write a longtail paper for extra credit you will have that option. I'll post links for those interested in E.C.
I promised to have papers finished, but I still have a few to go. I'm meeting with tech support in the morning and I hope they will be able to tell me how I can post your grades so only you can see them. If so, I'll let you know on this blog tomorrow.
I will need a little more time to get the hard copies back to you unfortunately.
