Posted on | August 26, 2010 | No Comments
I earned a master’s degree from the University of Colorado’s School of Journalism and Communication in 2003, so I’m following news of its closing/reconfiguring.
The University of Colorado is considering closing its traditional journalism school and dramatically remodeling the way it trains students for the profession.
The future of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication is unclear, but budget woes and the rapid evolution of media have prompted Chancellor Phil DiStefano to instruct CU officials to start reviewing the school under the regents’ “discontinuance” policy.
Interim Provost Russell Moore is also setting up an exploratory panel charged with generating recommendations for a new information, communication and technology program.

Only nine? Still, worth a quick read. Of the ones mentioned, I’ve spent quality time with WordPress (my current preference), Tumblr, TypePad, Blogger and MySpace. The screenshot below is from my Tumblr blog, where I curate other people’s photojournalism. I ditched TypePad, Blogger and MySpace a while ago. Bad fit.
