Can anyone explain why the localism issue in U.S. media industry is important? Is it important because it assures diverse voices and protection for media diversity? --Chotongfui (talk) 15:39, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Questions
I just realized that there was a "participation log for course participants" at the top of this page, but I don't really understand what it is. Do we have to login to that separately to have our work logged? Brandonbrooks1 (talk) 14:49, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to the class!
