For my first submission into our class blog I would just like to write briefly about the importance of the subject matter of this course and how educating people to be aware of the world around them and how to intelligently dissect the source's and type of information we get is so essential towards a successful online media future. The internet is still the "wild west" in terms of content regulation and I see it being that for a long time, but I think that the users have the ability to craft the flow of what content should be viable and worth while to read. We are the ones who shift focus to what is important in the world and no longer have to abide by what the bobble heads on the cable news networks feed us as "news". I think this class will be the catalyst for a better understanding and a better future for web journalism.
