Interestingly I received my new Mass Communication textbook and started reviewing it on Election Day 2008--a day of historical significance that will long be remembered. In this day in age of technology and the influence of mass media in our digital age--this election takes on even more historical significance. And as a teacher I wanted to be on it. Especially since the new textbook is going to have a section on the campaign. The funny thing is that the textbook is already out and there's so much more to it. It's going to be incomplete--so it will be up to me to complete it. And it's going to take special care to do it in an appropriate manner that does not involve my political perspectives. But here's a few sites to consider:
