Greetings
Hello, I'm Crtew and I teach "Introduction to Mass Communication" using Wikipedia. My students last semester created several biographies of journalists who were killed for their journalism. We're going to do some more this semester. You have a very interesting topic considering all that has gone on in the last year. Good luck with your course, Crtew (talk) 03:54, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Crtew, great meeting you and thanks for your message. I am really glad you informed me about your class. Which course is it as I would like to use the pages your students created as examples for my class. All best wishes!!! cheers Minotaurlives (talk) 00:28, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
