Name: Andy Bechtel From: UNC-Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States About me: I teach editing and writing at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UNC-Chapel Hill. I'm interested in new ways to tell news stories and in the ethical and political ramifications of word choices (terrorist surveillance program, domestic spying or something in between?).
I have 12 years of experience in newspaper editing, most recently at The News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C.
Tom Bowers, a former colleague at UNC-Chapel Hill who retired last year, has started a blog about teaching. It promises to be a valuable resource for those in the classroom now, either full time or on the side, and those considering it.
Bowers' blog entries are waaaaay too long to read. He needs to break them up in to smaller chunks.
