Busy Thursday

Today was a busy Thursday. I tried to do some class preparation in the office and also get home early because my wife was returning from a trip to visit our grandson.

I read two articles in old-fashioned print newspapers I would like to share with my mass comm students. There must be digital links. Yes -- I found the links:

OK, here is one from The New York Times about advertisers using video games:

and a related one from the Hartford Courant:

And on another subject. I liked Dante Chinni's column in Tuesday's Christian Science Monitor about the quality of the current media:

I hope folks can follow these links and enjoy the articles.
