Rhetorica update…
1. Because of a resignation in our department, I’ve been asked to teach photojournalism this year. I’ll be dropping JRN270 Introduction to Journalism. And that means no Bang It Out weblog for the 2005-2006 school year. Although I might have my photo-j students do a photo blog. That could be cool. If you have thoughts about that, let me know.
2. I swear on a stack of rhetoric textbooks that I will finish my 2-part examination of the recent Government: In and Out of the News report soon–this week!
3. I’m working on two difficult essays now and trying to finish a few more interview analyses for The Echo Chamber Project. So, by the end of this week, I’ll begin a general blogging slow-down that will last until school starts. I’ll be here. I’ll be posting. But it may only be two or three things per week.
Two things here:
A photoblog would be fabulous—as long as you use the jpeg thing. One lady in Missoula, MT and I still have dial-up.
We’re all rooting for you to get tenure and understand the lack of posting, but how about turning the asylum over to the inmates? Why not have an “off-topic” section where your faithful readers can submit articles for comment and considertion?

R- Okay, I’ll do the photo blog!
As for turning the asylum over to the inmates: maybe. I need to know who would be interested. So, Rhetorica readers, who among you would be interested in guest blogging a little this summer?
(R- I still think you should be writing your own!)
Photoblog- Two thumbs up…It would be interesting to have you and your students explore the intricacies of visual rhetoric. It could also expose the germs of a more prevalent T.V. bias.
Guest writers — I would be down for certain.
And…..I am currently (trying) starting my own…..
