In a blog post, weigh in on a current event. The only requirement is that what you write about must be something that has taken place within the week, even if it is part of an ongoing saga. Provide some context for your event or issue, and explain why it is relevant to our class discussions. For instance, I could write about the decision of a Federal Judge on December 27, 2013 to uphold the National Security Agency’s ability to mine massive amounts of data from phone records.
We highly recommend that you discover sources via Twitter, Facebook, or other social media venues.
