Thoughts on the social impacts of information and communication technology policy.
J-Schools Play Catchup – NYTimes.com
An intresting perspective on how J-Schools are “playing catchup.” From what I’ve seen at Big 10 schools in the Midwest, this has been an ongoing process over at least the past 10 years. I think they deserve a little credit for being aware of these changes for some time and constantly retooling. After all — some journalistic skills transcend media!
John is a PhD candidate at the University of Wisconsin - Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication. He studies the social impact of media technology law and policy, with a special emphasis on copyright. He also is an instructional technology consultant for DoIT-Academic Technology.
John doesn't update his blog often, and many of the thoughts are probably half-baked. While the web has sort of an eternal memory, the current and future reader is urged not to take all of this too seriously.
Think of this blog as "John thinking out loud."
