Week 4 Notes – Tu

This week: Citizen Journalism

Discussion Leaders: Student Assignments 1, 2.
- What is a tip jar (TypePad, Politics From Left To Right uses Amazon)
- Is citizen journalism just another form of “alternative press”? Defend.
- Wiki – LA Times

Assignment: Read Newsvine columns (group into three’s – going in reverse this time) and post a comment by class on Thursday. Be sure to post your seeds and column to both the UW Bloggers group and “Public” to make it easier for us to find one another’s work.
