It’s summer, so this blog is inactive. During the fall and spring semesters, this site is where students in Writing for Media Markets, taught by Meg Cullar, share their weekly blogs evaluating different media outlets. Each student has his or her own blog, and the posts feed into this one.

Spring 2013 was a great semester, and the class members did a terrific job blogging on the media. For some reason, they seem to think that blogging is more fun than their regular writing assignments. It might be because they have to rewrite and rewrite and rewrite their regular assignments. Or maybe it’s because the blog is the only writing they are allowed to do in first person!

The students get to be more casual and humorous in their opinion writing, and it’s always fun to see more and more personality come through as they become comfortable with the format. One student this spring titled his personal blog, “Meg Cullar Made Me Do This.” So we got started off on the right foot!
