Blog Commenting and Interactivity Assignment

For our next assignment, we're asking you to do something a little bit different.

Within the ecosystem of journalism, in which the classic wall separating producers and consumers of content appears to be eroding, it is as important for journalists to read and respond to the content of others as it is to produce original content.

This week we'd like you to practice with an interactivity exercise: visiting the class student list, select the student whose name appears above and below yours. Visit those two students' blog, and comment on at least one post featured there. A good response should engage the presented topic in some way: adding personal context, asking a question, providing additional links or resources, etc.

We will be checking for comments on Monday morning, June 20.
