But as a student who blogs on her own, I can't really afford that luxury. With that said, I spent 20 years in the newspaper biz, as an editor, copy editor, reporter, so I feel your pain. I appreciate the value of careful editing. I do my best, but in editing myself, sometimes I miss some things.

I recently subscribed to your blog as a result of this course. I like the way you analyse both traditional and social media from different perspectives. I find myself reading your posts not only for the purpose of the course but also to educate myself. Given that I only started using social media recently, you're such an inspiration to me. Keep up the good work, keep blogging and I'll keep reading it..

I’m trying very hard to learn, adopt and adapt to the new methods of journalism. It would seem to me that the new generation of journalists would be well served to embrace some of the old tenets — most notably, respect for and attention to correct grammar.
