Back in the classroom to teach about columns, magazine writing and news reporting

SACRAMENTO, Calif., USA - In just a few minutes the fall 2010 semester is about to be launched, which for me means teaching column writing, magazine writing and two sections of basic news reporting.

And as in semesters past, some of the work of the students in those four classes will be published here (and elsewhere) as well as reports on guest speakers and outside-of-class activities.

Last semester, the column-writing class posted many great blogs.

A few of those students have kept up writing in the eight months since.
