JOUR 3070

The Flea's referral log reveals visits from Georgia State's JOUR 3070 Introduction to Theories of Mass Communication. The class has an essay due November 12... stop reading this entry and start typing! The assignment looks sound. I may steal/rip-off the idea for my Digital Media and Culture course next term.

Remember, your job in this paper isn't to say blogging is great or blogging sucks. Your job is to write an essay about blogging from a mass communication theory perspective. You should come up with an argument, present that argument, then give reasons why you think that argument is valid.

Quite right. Here are some keywords to consider: hypertext, intertext, reflexivity and recursion. I will add more as I think about this. Oh, and if you need an excuse to say the following please feel free to quote the Flea... Blogging is great! Blogging sucks!
