my favorite reading was the MediaShift article on branding yourself as a journalist! The google article was really interesting, I had no idea that they were collecting all that information, although I must say I'm not shocked. I like the idea of students creating their own personal course plans to become better educated in a specific field of interest. In the Journalism world of today we know that it's nearly impossible to get a solid job without published work. I think finding a specific niche and getting educated in that area, is very smart. I agree that investing in a domain name is a smart and solid investment that will last a long time, especially in the field of PR and Journalism.
