Mike Rubino: "It's a hefty article that takes a look at how blogs are affecting higher learning, and how blog posts are further reaching that one might think."
Marcus O'Donnell: "The anecdotal piece raises a number of key issues about blogging and higher education. The headline “Freedom of speech redefined by blogs: Words travel faster, stay around longer in the blogosphere” tells you that this isn't going to be the standard media blog bust. The anecdotes in this article actually sum up some of the key points any introduction to blogging in higher education might like to make"
Mike Arnzen: "The Christmas issue of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ran an excellent, front-page feature story on educational blogging, called "Freedom of Speech Redefined by Blogs". Featured prominently is our college's New Media Journalism program, led by my colleague, Dennis Jerz. It's really a great -- and quite accurate -- piece."

Wendy Auston writes, "As a former copy editor, I know that the spot they featured it in is the most prime real estate possible for newspapers, and on Christmas Day! wow! People stay at home, read the paper after the gifts are opened, find out about how blogging IS changing the way we think about writing and public discourse."
Lisa of "Because I am the Mommy" writes, "The above is one example of how freedom of speech has evolved in the world of blogging on the internet. In this case, the blog resulted in a positive outcome on both sides. | When I decided to write an online journal, I really had to put some thought into it."
