Re your post on J-Source: Good for you taking your class to the Magnoatta trial. Too many j-courses are too lost in an academic fog. I taught part-time for four years at Western while also doing PR for the Walkerton Inquiry. I took two classes to the inquiry. The Commissioner, Dennis O’Connor, spoke to the students during the lunch break and they all did stories about various aspects of the inquiry. A few years later, after I gave up teaching, I worked for the Ipperwash Inqiry that was a lot closer to London and I could not persuade my former colleagues to visit that proceeding. So keep it up! BTW: There doesn’t seem to be a feature to post comments on j-Source. That is why I wrote here. Regards Peter Rehak, Toironto.
Thanks for the feedback Peter! I really think these “field trips” are an important part of j-school.
