Notes prior to our class on Monday, Oct. 22

Hi everyone!

What are we doing tonight? I'm glad you asked!

• Matt Mowry from Business NH magazine will make a return visit to go over stories for the "Young Reporters" project. Be prepared to discuss your "pitches."

Matt will decide yes/no and explain his decision. It's nothing personal. In some cases, the magazine may have already written about your topic.

He'll have a stockpile of other ideas ready for you to tackle in the event your story isn't greenlighted.

• Quiz Update: In last week's quiz, everyone felt the 5-to-1 salary ration was a good idea and one they'd support. (Also, everyone got a 100!)

• Twitter: Let's look at what you came up with to help Ben & Jerry's fight the Doughboy.

• Class Blogs: A whole lotta posting goin' on. We take the cover off the blog pool and dive right in.

• Writing Assignment: Can your words prompt listeners to create compelling mental pictures? We'll find out as we tackle the art of writing a :30 radio spot.

• And more! There's always more. Would you expect anything less? :)

See you in class!
