Every year I like to try and get one or two folks from local media to come out and speak to my Modern Media class. Tdanner has graciously helped me out in the past. Is anyone currently working in local TV or radio interested in coming to speak to my HS class in Gresham? It's a small group - only a dozen kids - and stories and insights about the changing nature of media are what I'm looking for, especially corporatization of stations and content. It would be from 8-9:15am, date TBA. I'd like to get this all arranged within the next week. Please email me at edselehr@gmail.com if you can help me out - it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm posting again simply to bump this request back to the top of the list. Please contact me at the above email if interested in stopping by to chat with my students about media. Thanks again.

EPILOGUE:

I want to thank John Erickson and Chris Taylor for coming to my Modern Media class and helping 'de-mystify" media and radio for my students. These guys are great professionals and it was wonderful for them to step up and help out.

Thanks also to everyone else that responded to my initial request - I have your contact information (bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!) and will likely be calling you next time I teach this class. (I want to have a wide variety of speakers just so I can meet as many of you as possible!)

That was great of them. A round of applause please.

I'm available.
Were you going to cover my hotel, and airfare?

Chris did you mention me in your talk to the class?

There was a special "Roger" segment. The class was stunned by the information I was able to provide. Expect extra hits to your web site.

:-D

I think the school "inappropriate material" filters won't allow my students to go to Rogers's site.
