I've been reading this blog for a few weeks, and find it very interesting: Media Chatter, a blog that collects the opinions of students taking Communications 101 from Dr. James Duncan at Anderson University. The course covers, according to his website, the role and function of mass media in our society, and at how social, economic and political forces shape the media and its messages -- and then turns around and redirects the effects that media has on the students back on the media by expressing it online. The writing is what you'd expect from kids with a high-school education, but shows that they're processing what they're learning, and the variety of responses is quite readable.
