Someone sent me this about SOPA and PIPA, language NSFW.
CBS reported Joe PA’s death before it happened. Journalistic standards aside, it makes one wonder if Miss Cleo is working for them. This article gives a nice run down of how the false rumors spread and were debunked.
Are we losing the ability to communicate, thanks to technology? I’ve seen various versions of that article over the years, and we’ll be talking about this topic throughout the semester.

The paper is due next class, Nov. 17. Download HERE.
Your paper should reference the second half of this story from This American Life . (The first half is interesting but not directly related to the course material.) We listened to the piece once already in class–news channel runs a story that other channels didn’t.
You should also reference to article I handed out in class, also available here. And of course, your paper should heavily reflect the movie.

We will be watching a movie that will start promptly at 6pm. Do not come in late. Do not chatter doing the movie or else I’ll just mark you absent, since not paying attention is the equivalent of not being there. You will be writing paper #5 on this movie. It is likely the movie will take the entire time, and since the paper will be due the following week, it is advised that you do not leave early. It is strongly advised you pay attention to the movie since I will be expecting detailed responses to my questions in your papers.
Feel free to bring snacks, just clean up after yourself!
