Blogging on the Front Page

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Christmas Day issue featured a terrific article quoting Dennis Jerz and his students and how they are learning about writing in the public realm even when it doesn't feel like they are. Yay! This is a great article! As a former copy editor, I know that the spot they featured it in is the most prime real estate possible for newspapers, and on Christmas Day! wow! People stay at home, read the paper after the gifts are opened, find out about how blogging IS changing the way we think about writing and public discourse. Way to to go, Dennis!! The reporter did a good job with this one.
