Welcome summer students!
Here's a four-minute audio package created to welcome students in both versions of JTC 326 to the class.
Just as a short reminder, there's a traditional classroom version of the class during the four-week summer session (May 18 through June 12). That's Section 001.
There's also an online version of the course during the final eight weeks of summer (June 15 through August 7. That's section 801.
See you soon.

PBS story highlights online journalists' role in new media landscape
A story aired last week on Public Broadcasting System's "NewsHour" that highlighted both the decreasing number of reporters working for newspapers and how their role is being taken up by online-only reporters.
"As Newspapers Cut Back, Online Reporters Step In," reported by Jeffrey Brown (clearly brilliant, despite the misspelling of his last name), aired April 13.

Seattle P-I goes Web only
The dominoes continue to fall in the printed newspaper business, but unlike The Rocky Mountain News and Scripps Howard, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and parent company Hearst announced Monday they'd give a Web-only version of the P-I a try.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) will mark the final print edition of the 146-year-old paper, which was put up for sale in January. Hearst found no buyers, but instead of shutting down entirely, the P-I likely will significantly downsize its newsroom and continue as a hyper-local Web only publication.
This will be worth watching over the next several months to see if the P-I can make a go of it in that netherworld where newspapers save tons of money by cutting out the print product. But have they killed the golden goose at the same time?
