Welcome to New Media Journalism at Seton Hill University

Thank you for visiting the New Media Journalism website at Seton Hill University

At Seton Hill University (SHU), free MovableType weblogs are given to students upon request. Any student or faculty member with a weblog at SHU has the ability to post on the New Media Journalism weblog. At SHU, we simply like to call the weblogs 'blogs' for short.

All New Media Journalism majors at SHU receive a blog through classes taught by Dennis G. Jerz, associate professor of English and adviser of The Setonian, the school newspaper.

What exactly is a weblog? Jerz explains on his Literacy Weblog.

Students and faculty members log on to the SHU blogosphere through the main page This page displays the most recently posted entries and comments.

Blogging is used at SHU academically and recreationally. Jerz utilizes weblogs in the classroom to post assignments and allow students to interact with each other. By blogging, students have the ability to bounce project ideas off one another, and share their progress in class.
