Just got this request this morning:
Dear Mr. Warthen:I am teaching Political Sociology next term and I’m putting together readings for my course packet. I follow (and enjoy) your blog and and read with interest your post “Where have all the reporters gone. . . duh.” I would like to save it as a .pdf and include it as one of the supplemental readings for the section on media, politics and democracy. Please let me know if this is acceptable.Best regards,TracyTracy Burkett, Ph.D.Associate Professor of SociologyCollege of Charleston
To which I said sure; go for it. I’d offer to come speak to the class, but I don’t get down to Charleston as much as I’d like. I never pass up a chance to further confuse the leaders of tomorrow, as long as it doesn’t inconvenience me…

Never pass up an opportunity to “scare straight” tomorrow’s unemployed journalists.
I am glad that students will be introduced to this blog. It makes me think.
Thanks again for letting me use your post for my class. You have an open invitation to visit my class.
