After countless emails to unsuspecting friends of ranting and raving about the state of the media today, it hit me: I needed a blog! Not just any old blog about what I ate for dinner and how mad I am at Trixie this week, either. I needed one where I could spread my agenda to a more general– though perhaps just as unsuspecting– public! Blogger.com, you say? Eeeeexcellent.
Why should you care? Well, I have a degree in the subject of mass communication and, unlike 47% of communication majors out there, I chose that major on purpose. I took a number of fascinating classes that opened my mind to a world beyond CNN (I’m an MSNBC girl. Oh, I keed, I keed!) and the New York Times. Also, unlike 47% of the blogs out there, I have a pretty good grasp of the English language and all of its idiosyncracies. So that puts me ahead of 94% of everyone who has ever had a cognizant thought. No, wait, that doesn’t sound right. Math was never my strong suit.
So here I am. A girl with a college degree and a dream. And no, it’s not about you, me, and a bathtub of Jello.

Because BLOG is not a word until about a couple of years ago. Check my reasoning for it: http://davidpress.wordpress.com/the-reason-for-the-title/
