For one of my journalism classes we’re required to blog about journalism business models, and discuss new ideas of how to improve the news industry. Above is a link to my latest post about the idea that paywalls may actually work. 

As you can imagine, though, not very many people were thrilled with my idea. Haha. Check it out and let me know what you think though!

War and Peace

“For every thousand pages of the causes of wars there is less than one page directly on the causes of peace. And yet the causes of war and peace, logically, should dovetail into one another….A valid diagnosis of war will be neglected in a valid diagnosis of peace.”

- Blainey, The Causes of War, p.3

I just had one of those moments where I really cared about what I was learning. I know I should value everything that I am taught, but some things just stick more than others.

Ummmmmm… I love Anderson Cooper.

Hey now lets leave fritos out of this.

Granted, this is funny, but should journalists be firing back like this?
