In the presentation, I try to call the students’ attention to the traditional role of the press as “Fourth Estate” some disturbing trends on newspapers and publishers and the potential role of blogs And I suggest, indirectly, that Blogs may be taking on the role of the fourth estate.
Of course, much of the presentation is in my head and the slides are more “prompts” for discussion so reading the slides might not be all that interesting but I’ve selected a few good ones…
Slide 10
Slide 12
Slide 19
Slide 21
Slide 24
Slide 25
Slide 29
Slide 30
Slide 31
Slide 36
Here are all the slides as jpgs at my photobucket account:
Slide1, Slide2, Slide3, Slide4, Slide5, Slide6, Slide7, Slide8, Slide9, Slide10, Slide11, Slide12,
Slide13, Slide14, Slide15, Slide16, Slide17, Slide18, Slide19, Slide20, Slide21, Slide22, Slide23, Slide24, Slide25, Slide26, Slide27, Slide28, Slide29, Slide30, Slide31, Slide32, Slide33, Slide34, Slide35, Slide36
36 is a Stephen Colbert quote from his now famous presentation at the Press Banquet. Don’t know how many HS Students will “get” that one…
Wish me luck,
