A New Year, A New Semester, New Wall St. Journal

It's January 7th and we're back in Tuscaloosa after a wonderful TWO WEEKS at home in Virginia.

What a whirlwind week it was last week in Washington. It was great to be a stone's throw from all the pomp and circumstance on Capitol Hill.

Now, it's down to business..and I have a lot of it to attend to as we begin a new semester with two courses on media management-- one of my favorite topics.

There's been so much happening on this front over the holidays-- I can hardly wait for classes to begin.

Not only was the AT&T merger with Bellsouth completed, by WHNT-TV in Huntsville and its sister stations from the New York Times Company have a new owner.

The Bowl Championship Series moved from ABC To FOX this year-- with the grand finale tomorrow night in Arizona.


And, then there's the new, smaller Wall Street Journal. I get it everyday here in Alabama, but picked up a copy last week in Richmond. It will take some getting used to.
