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
Mr. Maraniss is an associate editor at The Washington Post and the
author of two critically acclaimed and best selling books, When Pride Still
Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi and First in His Class: A Biography of
Bill Clinton. He is also the author of The Clinton Enigma and
co-author of The Prince of Tennessee: Al Gore Meets His Fate and Tell
Newt to Shut Up. His most recent book They Marched Into Sunlight is a
brilliant narrative focusing on a battle in Vietnam and a protest in the United
States that took place simultaneously over 2 days in October 1967. Intoduction
will be made by Congressman John Murtha.
