    Next week, Fall classes start, and I’ll be trying to wrap my brain around the following: MCOM 270: Communications Law and Policy.

    *(No, not pathetic or lowly, really, but that’s a line from a song in a movie I worked on a long time ago. Yes, a song.) I’ve been pretty light on the posts here while I’m working on a different web project. If you haven’t been reading the My Newspaper Internship blog, you’ve been missing…
