Guest Lecturer from The Washington Post

I am cancelling Friday's "Practice in Journalism" class and delaying until Monday the due date for the midterm reporting project. In return, I ask that all students attend the Thursday evening lecture, and blog their response.

(If you can't attend the talk on Thursday, the alternate assignment is to choose a breaking news story, and blog about it three times in 48 hours.) (See the updated online syllabus for more details.)

Here is the lecture info:

David Maraniss Lecture, 7:30 p.m., Seton Hill University, Cecilian
Hall
