PR 191 gets a blog!

It's the start of a new semester...so it must be time for a new blog.

This one is for students in my section of PR 191 -- Strategic Writing for Public Relations, a class offered at the School of Journalism and Mass Communications (JMC) at San Jose State University.

You can check out the PR 191 home page at http://jmcweb.sjsu.edu/mccune/191/191.html.

Here are direct links to the syllabus, class schedule and descriptions of class projects and assignments.

As part of this class, I've asked my students to follow one or two PR or media-related blogs this semester. They'll also work at developing their "editing eyes" through an assignment called "Copy Edit the World" (many thanks to Frank E. Fee Jr. of UNC-Chapel Hill for this exercise, which he shared through AEJMC's GIFT Program).

Periodically, I'll pose a question on this blog for my students to consider and write about. Here's the first one: What brings you to public relations?
