#sabew11 Day One: Everything You Missed
The 2011 Society of American Business Editors & Writers’ (SABEW) annual conference is being hosted at SMU this year. As a student in Jake Batsell’s Technology Reporting class, we’re required to cover aspects of the conference. While our coverage is being hosted on The Daily Mustang, I thought I’d curate coverage from around the web … Read more

Crazy in My Mailbox
Somehow, I ended up on the DCCC‘s mailing list. I blame my subscription to Mother Jones. It’s a kick-ass investigative journalism magazine, but let’s face it: the subscriber demographics skew liberal. Therefore I occasionally get political mail. Sometimes it’s kind of hilarious. That’s the nature of political mail—it’s old fashioned propaganda designed to get you … Read more
