You must remember those University of Kansas students will someday be standing in front of a similiar classroom in twenty years feeling a little outdated the same way you did. What is cutting edge today will be outdated tomorrow, even for the most tech savey college journalism student in the last months of 2008.<BR/><BR/>Just remember the old French proverb, "The more things change, the more they stay the same."<BR/><BR/>Danny L.

Would quibble with you on one thing -- while younger journalists may not be down on printed paper (gosh, no - in fact the problem I find may be the opposite -- too many still identify themselves by medium), their audiences are not necessarily of the same ilk. I am reminded of the focus groups the Washington Post did where the young professionals clearly wanted the news -- but the WaPo couldn't give the paper away. They clearly were down on the printed paper.<BR/><BR/>I don't yet think this is a majority, but we need to keep in mind that young journalists may be journalists first and young second and subject to the same disconnect that has afflicted those of us in the boomer generation.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16156896794811327893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266566846399659219.post-72096817519868311962008-11-19T23:50:00.000-05:002008-11-19T23:50:00.000-05:00Some of what readers want may not even be writing ...Some of what readers want may not even be writing -- I am extremely fond of editorial cartoons, and I'm baffled by the layoffs of so many cartoonists in the newspaper industry. When we lived in Kentucky, the Borgman cartoons in the Cincinnati Enquirer were one of the great pleasures in the newspaper. I don't have to agree with the cartoon to enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>We do need a better way to present information about municipalities so people who live in them are informed by presentations that convey information in a meaningful way without boring them. How much time should someone have to spend to find out the area zoned for 10-acre lots is going to go to 5-acre lots if the ordinance passes at the next meeting? <BR/><BR/>Also, I don't think newspapers have really figured out yet how to manage internet sites. <BR/><BR/>Barbara Phillips LongAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266566846399659219.post-46466439338168536032008-11-18T13:35:00.000-05:002008-11-18T13:35:00.000-05:00From what I can tell, Twitter adoption is still pr...From what I can tell, Twitter adoption is still pretty localized to larger cities, so I'm not surprised at the low usage at U. of Kansas. TwitterLocal.net has list of the (alleged) top 40 Twitter locations, of which the top 10 are Tokyo, New York, San Francisco, London, D.C., Chicago, Boston, Seattle and Sao Paulo. Some of those (Seattle?) are clearly hot spots where the activity is disproportional to population, while elsewhere, like U. Kansas, the adoption rate lags.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
