Buffalo.com is sponsoring an event at the Buffalo News Auditorium on Wednesday, February 20 at 7 p.m.: The Ins and Outs of Blogging. Learn how, why, where and when WNYers blog and how you can start blogging too.

Admission is free but participants must RSVP by phone at 716-849-4527 or by email to drusso@buffnews.com.

I will reiterate my opinion that any communication student who is serious about a career in journalism, public relations, marketing, and related fields should have a blog in some form through which to showcase their writing skills. Anything less and you will be starting your job search at a severe disadvantage. If you need guidance or suggestions in getting started, contact me (Kara Kane) at webmaster@medaille.edu or Sarah Whitehead at (716) 880-2117.
