A Journalist and Blogger Tries Teaching

By TANIA RALLI
Published: September 12, 2005

For some old-school journalists, blogging is the worst thing to hit the print medium since, well, journalism school. They may want to avert their eyes today, when Stephen B. Shepard, dean of the new Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York, is to name Jeff Jarvis director of the new-media program and associate professor.

Mr. Jarvis, 51, has been developing the new-media curriculum for CUNY's journalism program since last year. As part of the core curriculum, all students will be required to take at least one new-media class exploring digital journalism.

"New media will be a big part of the school," said Mr. Shepard. "And Jeff is a major figure in the world of citizen journalism, blogging and online journalism."

Currently, in addition to consulting for About.com (which is owned by The New York Times Company), Mr. Jarvis avidly posts to his blog BuzzMachine (buzzmachine .com) about news and media coverage.

3. He's a Democrat who was Republicanized by 9/11

So he claims.

He got his ass kicked recently by a liberal blogger with the unfortunate name of Roger Ailes (no joke):
