The First FSPA Blog

As one who has studied the history of our organization, I might be tempted to think this is an historic moment. Wow -- FSPA has a blog. But as one who works with technology and digital multimedia I know this is such a transient moment. Software and the Web change so fast. Will we one day have a YouTube section with all of our winning videos posted? If so, would it remain as an archive? Who knows.

The main purpose of this blog is to keep all of our advisers and students of media in our Florida schools informed about what is happening with FSPA. I can type and post information faster here than anywhere else. And if you subscribe to the postings, you'll know whenever there is news. Whether it be a deadline for the student journalist of the year competition, or a reminder to send in your convention registration, we'll post reminders here. Of course you will also be able to find this information at our officcial Web site http://www.jou.ufl.edu/fspa but here we will be able to update from almost anywhere, anytime, and quickly.

It would also be great if we could generate discussion around the state within our blog. Let's get talking about what we need to do about honors credit for our Journalism courses. Let's talk and follow with action about strategies to support our new advisers in the schools.

I look forward to our dialogues...

FSPA Executive Director
