Well, one thing’s for sure, the whole serious bit is not for Morgan! His performance at Seton Hill was extremely entertaining and for a guy like myself, who at least attempts to eat...

This point, made in chapter three of Elements of Journalism, stands out as very significant. If, for instance, a reporter’s loyalty lay with his boss’s boss’s, boss’s interest, as is seen from time... JohnHaddad 2005-09-28T16:20:24-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/JohnHaddad/011250.html Arguably the most thought-provoking and helpful text this semester, The Elements of Journalism defines journalism for contemporary times, setting down rules and guidelines for the ethics and purpose of Journalism. For instance, one guideline is the statement that, “Journalism’s... JohnHaddad 2005-09-28T15:34:23-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/JohnHaddad/009373.html So, the end of American Blogging er....

I gnashed my teeth and roared at the utter idiocy of these cookie-cutter characters. "Here We Are" was soooooooo annoying. At least - I mean. I mean, you could feel...

Every other word that surrounded this sex-starved teacher’s story was sensual. From her thoughts of how animals mate to phrases of sexual orientation such as ‘he’s fun and straight’ to even the unlikely...

She is also exhibiting some rather crazy behavior. Obviously, by the end of the story we see that she is completely bonkers,... JohnHaddad 2005-03-17T17:38:40-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/JohnHaddad/008184.html This semester's course has been very rewarding. I have studied Great classics that I have always wanted to read, examined anti-capitalist, anti-machine literature, and learned a fascinating legend that my Catholic brethren probably grew up with.
