For all written work, please don’t do the ridiculous headers. Example:

It’s a waste of space and it shows me that you’re just trying to take up space instead of actually answering the questions. Your names will suffice, I am [...]

Things to think about

FCC is back in court debating vulgar speech
I don’t have a link for it, but there was also talk about whether it’s right or wrong for news stations to call an election early. This discussion started on the rumor that on station was saying it would call the election by 7:30 EST. What I saw [...]

Com 475 Final

HERE is your final paper. I mentioned some topics in class, but I also got to thinking that you can really apply any mass communication theory to a social issue as well. For example, someone used the search terms CSI and Cultivation theory and ended up at my page. Now I wouldn’t have put [...]
