More later on this, but a quick note: I was the mystery guest in the beat reporting class yesterday at UB. Students had to interview me to figure out who I was and what I was doing there. Then they had about 20 minutes to write a profile on deadline. Their questions were fantastic. Their writing had some surprises. According to their papers, I work for:
The Sacramento Bee, The Sacramental Bee; The Sacramento B; the Sacramental bunga bee; the Secretmental Bee; the Sacramento Bamboo Bee. Take your pick. There's only one correct answer. Apparently, my mission, since I decided to accept it, will be simple: Accuracy is job one.

Take your pick.

My friend, Ted, and his wife, Mary Ann, hosted a Safari Send-Off for me in Austin and treated me to a special mix of African music that already a UB student and a professor want to download.

Hello Maria Henson,
I am so thrilled to be following your adventures on your blog. I appreciate your post on teaching university journalism. I think one of the toughest things to teach smart university students is how to always ask the simple questions, such as "How do you spell the name of your newspaper?"
Good luck with everything! I look forward to reading more. When you can, please include links to things. I'm so interested!
All the best,
Katie
