http://beginnerblogger400.blogspot.com/2010/03/and-newest-superhero-is.html
Tuesday, March 23, 2010. And The Newest Superhero is. After reading this article. From MSN I have now been informed on how the internet has saved at least. 8 lives thus far! Some of the stories were very interesting. One man saved his own life thanks to an iPhone app and another woman was saved after being severely attacked by her horse. Luckily she was broadcasting her horse's birth via webcam and had people from as far as Berlin calling 911 on her behalf for assistance! My favourite part about this vid...

http://commstudiesstudent.blogspot.com/2010/03/youtube-fame.html

Often this “fame” doesn’t amount to more than recognition, unless one is a singer. However, some have found a way to cash in on their fame. A very popular video “ David After Dentist. A lot of people however. Feel like the DeVore’s are exploiting their child. If the family came across this opportunity innocentl...So many...

Media Savvy: January 2010
http://commstudiesstudent.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. Paying for Online Content. While I am an avid reader of blogs, I am also a supporter of print journalism and other media sources. I would hope that newspapers and magazines can co-exist along with the online world of blogging, although at a lesser scale than in the pre-digital world. Recently it was announced that. The New York Times. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Farewell, but not Goodbye! Online Identities and Hiding Behind the Small Screen.

Media Savvy: Canada vs. Ann Coulter
http://commstudiesstudent.blogspot.com/2010/03/canada-vs-ann-coulter.html
Wednesday, March 24, 2010. Canada vs. Ann Coulter. Canadian media is buzzing about Ann Coulter. And her speaking engagements at Canadian universities, and the controversy. That has ensued. It began when Coulter was sent a letter from the President of the University of Ottawa, informing her of Canada’s laws on hate speech differing from the United States. The letter was leaked to the media. Is she right in claiming she was treated differently from other controversial speakers because she is a Republican?

Tuesday, March 30, 2010. And the year(s) come to an end. I cannot believe it has been 4 years since I started this degree, or even 4 months since we started blogging! To be honest I was terrified to do this and had no faith in my blogging skills. Now that I'm done though I will admit that I really did enjoy it! It has been great hearing your comments and reading from your perspectives! Most of you I'm sure will definitely be able to relate! It was created using free software from Wix.com. The magazine di...
