Guest Speakers Monday & Wednesday

In my continuing effort to upgrade the entertainment and excitement levels of our class, I am pleased to announce the following back-to-back guest speakers.

On Monday (Oct. 15), we will join Al Eisele’s advanced reporting class in a roundtable discussion with Gina Cavalarra, who has been to Iraq six times for the Army Times and is one of the best reporters covering the Iraq conflict today, Al says. His class also meets at 9:30 a.m. somewhere on the second floor of Copeland, but he couldn’t remember the room number. We’ll just have to find them.

On Wednesday (Oct. 17), Oklahoma Gazette Editor Rob Collins will join our class to talk about the kind of big features and investigative stories the Gazette likes to publish; Oklahoma politics and culture; the journalism job market, including internships and freelance opportunities; and anything else we want to ask him about.

Please show up and ask a lot of questions. Consider what your day would be like if we were having a regular class.

Intersection Survey

East Lindsey & 12th Avenue intersection survey

The survey was done on Friday 12, from 1:20 pm to 2:20 pm.
I was concentrated in surveying cars coming from West Lindsey and going toward East and North 12th Avenue going toward South.
During this time 400 cars came from West Lindsey and in 52 of them drivers were using their cell phones.
In the other hand, 476 cars came from North 12th Avenue and in 53 of them drivers were using cell phones while driving.
In total, during an hour, 105 out of 876 drivers coming from West Lindsey and West 12th Avenue were using their cell phones while driving.
