COMM 150: In-class quiz

From time to time, as you may know if you've taken my classes before, I give quizzes in class ... partly to stimulate class discussion but also to encourage class attendance. Therefore, I try to make the questions not terribly demanding so everybody gets credit for coming to class.

Here's today's question:
In what large East Coast city is The New York Times published:

a. Springfield

b. New Berlin

c. Williamsville

d. Chatham

3. New York City.
Post your answers as comments to this post.

These quizzes work best if you tell your classmates who are not here today exactly what you did to earn 35,000 extra credit points.

About Me

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.
