I completed my final paper and turned it in last week. Final grades have been posted, and I received an A for the class. I'm proud of myself. I worked really hard on my blog paper as well as the class assignments. I won't actually get my paper back for a week or two, but then I'll be able to see what corrections were made and any comments. This was a very informative class that focused on mass media. One of our text books, UnSpun, was really interesting and opened my eyes to how bias news stories can be reported by the media. From news broadcasts, to commercials, and political candidates, different media outlets put their own spin on what is reported. A great website to debunk political spin is http://www.factckeck.org/ which is organized by the same people who authored UnSpun. Now, I'm off to American Government which also looks like it'll be very interesting!
