Loganite: October 2006
http://loganite.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 31, 2006. Are we killing journalism in America? This came across on my e-mail discussion list for journalism educators last week. It is from the Character Counts. Web site. It raises some important questions about media ownership and about the way that the media themselves are manipulated and controlled by powerful institutions. Last year, the Knight-Ridder chain of newspapers (including the largest papers in Philadelphia, Miami, Minneapolis and San Jose) were sold off in pieces. The...

Loganite: The Dems are off and running
http://loganite.blogspot.com/2007/02/dems-are-off-and-running.html
Saturday, February 10, 2007. The Dems are off and running. I caught the last half of the announcement speech of Sen. Barack Obama this morning, live from Springfield, Ill., at the old statehouse. The site was symbolic, evoking the history of Abraham Lincoln, who served eight years there, and Obama's own history as a state legislator. And, man, that guy can speak! My thoughts on the candidates:. Vice President Al Gore:. The former Iowa governor was a veep short-lister in 2004, a moderate who has a record ...

Loganite: June 2006
http://loganite.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 10, 2006. An address to graduates. I presented the commencement address to members of the 102nd graduating class Friday night at the football stadium. The weather, which had included gusty winds and a rain shower earlier in the day, held nicely for the evening - a calm and warm night with a nearly full moon. After the speech, many of my faculty colleagues congratulated me, and after the ceremony, people I don't even know complimented me on the content and delivery. I am pleased to be a...

http://loganite.blogspot.com/2007/02/sen-murray-is-center-stage.html
Saturday, February 10, 2007. Sen Murray is center stage. The Seattle Times' weekend feature, Letter from Washington. Murray has had a role in leadership for a few years now, since Sen. Tom Daschle included her in an advisory capacity back when he was Democratic leader. Now, she's the Democratic Conference Secretary.
