Personal media engulfs us, from our cellphones and blogs to iPods and ever-present wifi, but some Carleton College students are diving in even deeper: in the class We Media: The Personal Media Revolution students explore the hows and whys of citizen media. Taught by Carleton’s Cinema and Media Studies Chair John Schott, a panelist at our recent discussion on the ethics of mediated imagery of death and disaster (webcast here), the students create their own blogs, podcasts, and videoblogs (including Digital Lives/Digital Loves, which ruminates on “livin’ digital”). Minneapolis’ own Chuck Olsen vlogs an interview with Schott on MNstories today.
