A couple of things about this week. First, I have uploaded PDF versions of the lectures I have given in this class up on the Blackboard site for 270. When you log into Blackboard, you should be able to access them now.
I am also copying and pasting the details for Wednesday's faux press conference below:
WHO: Ray LaHood, U.S. Secretary of Transportation
WHAT: A visit to the University of Montana to speak with journalism students.
WHEN: Wednesday, February 16 at 11:00 a.m.
WHERE: Don Anderson Hall Room 306
WHY: To make an announcement in response to the explosion in Allentown, Pa. and to take a few brief questions
Your first assignment: Write a short preview story (200 words) about the visit. You will need to do research to provide some brief background information on Mr. LaHood and the explosion in Allentown – the who, what, when, where, why and how. (Due Tuesday at 4:45 p.m. MT emailed to me)
Your second assignment: On Wednesday, you will attend the news conference during class. Your second assignment is to write a 400- to 500-word news story about the event, with quotes. Your deadline for filing the story by e-mail is midnight on Wednesday.
