Well, it's not exactly liveblogging, there's no such thing as deadblogging and it's not in dead-tree or print format. But here are notes from your answers when I went around the room today asking: (1) how do you define news; and (2) what does it do for you?
Your answers (but the typos are mine):
- lifestype put on paper, magazines - tells what’s happening today - pretty much just tgives you information\
Im portant happenings in the community and around the world - I rarely watch the news but when I do it gives me an insight on what’s going on.
The latest ijnfo that needs to be heard by the general public - keeps me informed what’s happening locally and around the world
Basically it’s whats going on in the world, but we don’t hear everything. Impact. Controversy. Timeliness of it. Things that are odd. Prominent, li8ke Tiger woods. Yeah we don’t need to know about it, but we do.
Any type of proximity timelness blah blah blah from COMM 207 --

About Me
- Pete
- Springfield (Ill.), United States
- I'm a retired English, journalism and cultural studies teacher at Springfield College in Illinois (acquired by Benedictine University and subsequently closed). I coordinate jam sessions for the "Clayville Pioneer Academy of Music" at Clayville Historic Site and the Prairieland Strings dulcimer club, and I sing in the choir and the contemporary praise team at Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield. On Hogfiddle I post links and video clips for our sessions and workshops on the mountain dulcimer (a.k.a. "hog fiddle"), as well as research notes on folklore and cultural studies, hymnody and traditional Anglo-Celtic and Scandinavian music. I also posted assignments and readings in my interdisciplinary humanities classes. The Mackerel Wrapper (now on hiatus), carried assignments and readings for my mass comm. students. I started teaching b/log when I chaired SCI-Benedictine's assessment committee, and reopened it as the privatization of public schools grew increasingly troubling and closer to home.
