Want a Master's in Community Journalism If you're interested in getting a master's degree in Community Journalism, here's your opportunity. Former Alabama Press Association executive director Bill Keller, who is now teaching at the University of Alabama Department of Journalism, has established the nation's first on-site master's degree program for community journalism. The power of teamwork There's an old story about a man whose car got stuck in a ditch. He went to a nearby farmhouse for help, and the farmer said, "Maybe Jasper can help. Jasper is my blind mule."

Any insights/advice you can give me are much appreciated.
