A J-School Year

More than two-dozen students at the University of South Carolina School of Journalism and Mass Communications are keeping a blog chronicling their year in journalism school at http://jschoolyear.blogspot.com.

They are posting observations about class, balancing school with work and about the state of journalism. One student writes that to reach the new generation of readers, it might be necessary for journalists to write with their personal opinions clearly showing. Another reports from Washington, where she is covering the nation’s capital as part of a media and politics internship. Others write about courses in which students work in the school’s broadcast and print newsrooms to produce a daily cable newscast and a weekly newspaper and Web site.

"Some very revealing posts, I think, about what's bouncing around our future journalists' minds," says instructor Doug Fisher, who co-founded the project with associate professor Ernest Wiggins.
