I offer a couple of quick and easy ways to teach history in my column, which appears on Page 10. This might be a start. But, I agree, students don't understand the importance of knowing history. Media history is now an elective in my program. I have only five students in the class this semester. The low number concerns me, needless to say.

I am often shocked at how little students know about/care about history, and I keep looking for new and effective ways to address both.

OF AEJMC [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of James Rada Sent: Monday, March 02, 2015 1:30 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Ithaca College Student Journalists to Cover the 50th Anniversary of Selma for NBC News Hello all; Just wanted to share some exciting news with you… As some of you may know, in 2013 NBC News provided some student-journalists from Ithaca College with an incredible opportunity when we partnered with them to cover the 50th Anniversary of The March on Washington. Well, this weekend I will accompany six student-journalists from Ithaca College as we travel to Alabama to cover the 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday - the first attempt by Civil Rights marchers to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. We will be covering the weekend’s events for NBC Nightly News and NBCnews.com<http://nbcnews.com/> In addition, on Sunday March 8th, we will stream live coverage of the march reenactment through one of NBC’s online web platforms. You can watch the live stream at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEL8OIDUL5w And you can follow us the entire weekend on twitter: #icparkselma50 Regards JR ******************************************** James A.
