It’s hard to steer clear of constant talk about the economy. From television news stations to national publications, the most common topic of conversation is the recession.All the talk about how bad things are and how much worse they could get can be a little repetitive. But one group of University students is trying to spread information and spark conversation in an up-to-date method.Students in a political communication class have developed the Save Our Schools blog — a Web site designed to discuss the monetary problems the University and the LSU System are facing.We believe for college-aged students to fully grasp the difficulties the University and System are facing, it’s vital modern media, like blogs, be used.We all live in a generation where TV and newspapers aren’t always the primary sources of information, regardless of the topic. Some people’s sole sources of news are blogs and Web sites like Facebook and MySpace. And popular sites like these should also be utilized to get the word out about the economy and more specifically, the budget cuts that could have a large impact on our academic futures.You can follow the SOS blog at sos-saveourschools.blogspot.comStudents spreading the word and enlightening their colleagues in any way possible is a good thing.——Contact the Editorial Board at [email protected]
