Prepping for Thursday's class

This coming Thursday I'll do what I hope will be a brief presentation on New York Times blogger/critic Virginia Heffernan and her controversial post on Ron Paul's possible ties to neo-Nazi and white-supremacist groups. I would like to move to a discussion after that. So please make sure you catch up on the reading for this week.

Also, our final guest speaker of the semester will be Paul Levy, president and CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and the author of the blog Running a Hospital. Levy will discuss the ethical minefields he encounters as a newsmaker who now has a way of communicating unfiltered with the public rather than exclusively through the news media. Please familiarize yourself with his blog and what he's been writing about over the past few weeks.
