Upcoming readings - Part 1

Here are links to two upcoming readings:

The first is a story by Jeffrey Rosen that appeared in New York Times Magazine. Link here: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/25/magazine/25privacy-t2.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=the%20end%20of%20forgetting&st=cse

Rosen teaches law at George Washington University, and he has written a few pieces about the Internet and how Internet usage intersects with existing (and developing) law.

You may need to register for nytimes.com. This will only take a moment.

You should read this article and be prepared to discuss it Thursday, Sept. 2.

As you read the article, you should think about your own Internet use, as well how what we post potentially follows us around forever.

Please let me know if you have any problems accessing this article.

Welcome, class

This will serve as a forum for our class this semester.

For those of you who have had me in class before, you will know that I believe that it is very important for aspiring strategic communication professionals to understand how the various tools that fit under the broad umbrella of social media may be used to meet the needs of our clients.

Periodically, I will post something that I believe is relevant to our class.

Feel free to comment.

I look forward to this semester.
